It *is* a pain. Friends in Western NY also say that milk about
$3/gal.
Come on guys, it's not fair. You are complaining about 3$/gal for
milk and gas? What about Europe, where we pay 1EUR/litre (and more)
!!! According to qalc and current exchange rates:
~$ qalc 1 EUR / litre to USD / gallon
(1 * euro) / liter = approx. 6.0093412($ / gal)
And according to a Brit friend in France, it's $8.15/gal in Toulouse.
But something's got to be cheaper in Europe...
Health care would be a big one.
And taxes are much lower here, and the torte system so different,
and people so much more eager to sue.
Depends on the country. In France, they pay less taxes, and with those
taxes they get college and healthcare at no extra charge. We coulda done
that ourselves over the last 8 years if the conservatives didn't think it
to be more productive to flush it down the war...
