I didn't say it was low, or even appropriate, I simply corrected the numbers.
Denmark also has really damn good public transport, and certainly for people who live in the cities, there is no real need to own a car. For people in the countryside, housing costs are significantly lower, which does offset the need for a car.
Exactly. It was a key issue for the right-wing/libertarian parties here, to make high-end cars less expensive without making smaller cars more affordable. It's all part of their "fuck the poors" mindset.
the jaw-dropping import tax of 180 percent that Denmark applies on vehicles fueled by a traditional combustion engine.
No, goddammit.
The tax is 105% on the value up to ~$16K, and 150% (used to be 180% until about a year ago) on the value above that. There are also adjustments to reward good fuel economy.
Yes, the tax is high. But please get the numbers right.
MiniDisc was a huge success in Europe and Asia for over a decade, but Sony let the format stagnate. It could have completely replaced the cassette tape, the CD, the floppy disk and the CD-R(W) and dominated the market, at least until flash memory became cheap and plentiful.
Manning discovered widespread corruption, deeply unethical behavior and absolutely unacceptable conduct, and she decided to let fundamental human rights and dignity overrule artificial power structures, so she exposed the lies, and of course the liars punished her.
It must have taken immense bravery, and we should admire her, not attack her.

You can move wherever you want, as much as you want.
But you cannot commit document fraud. It's rather sensible, actually.
No. It's a registration tax, which would be applied to locally-produced cars as well. So it is very much NOT an import tax.

The fine is to pay the registration fee, plus a fine on top, plus they confiscate the car, plus you may go to jail if you do it more than once.
Also, number plates are centrally-registered, they would know pretty fucking quickly if a plate was fake.
Yeah no, it doesn't work like that. For private imports, the tax is calculated based on fair market value.
No. All cars are taxed that much (except for cars sold below ~$12k which are only taxed at 105%)
Correction: The car's value up to ~$16K is taxed 105%, the value above that is taxed 150%.
No 'subsidy' ever existed on EVs; rather, it was a tax incentive. Denmark has a huge tax on new cars, which can reach 180% of the car's value.
It's 150%, and only on the car's value above ~$16K. The tax is 105% below that value.
180% registration fee
It's 150%, and only on the car's value above ~$16K. It's 105% below that value.

There's an easy fix, though. Ban those companies from doing business in your country, until they start paying what they owe.
"But you'll lose jobs!" cry the companies. What jobs? It's all robots anyway.

Macron isn't really left-wing, he's a centrist at best.

Sony can't do software. Every single piece of software they've ever distributed has been an unmitigated disaster.
Or you could just use the currency sign, the most useless of all characters. It's so useless, I can't even type it here.

Obama
socialist agenda
Why do people always fall back on this? If you knew even the first thing about politics, you would know that's blatantly and utterly false.
Obama was to the right of Reagan on a number of issues.
All the best people say so. Very good people, highly professional, top-level people.
Have you seen his diet?
