I had a huge laugh going through the document for my country. Grenades fell under the same category as soap, the tax for nuclear reactors was 11%, but spaceships were basically a bargain at just 9.3%, despite our country being in a terrible geological location for a rocket launch and the rocket itself not even being listed in the document. There's some real gold in there.
Snail With a Shotgun grenades... nuclear reactors... spaceships... high latitude... Do you live in Russia?
But 11% tax on nuclear reactors seems nice, I'm going to buy one and put in in my garden to piss off my neighbours and have support for electric cars on it so I can escape roughly 2€/3$ per litre gasoline prices! Actually, you know what!? I'm going to put my nuclear reactor INSIDE the electric car and drive around the world nonstop for a gazillion years with totally safe levels of gamma radiation!
Edit: OK what the nonsensical h*** did I just write?
Snail With a Shotgun you can use soap to make bombs.
Professorbairos lol
What country so I can read this?
Looks like he is czech.
Before anyone mentions that there are tons of Toyota pickup trucks driving around the US: they built a factory in Texas in the early 2000s which makes all of them, therefore they aren't subject to the tax.
Have you seen Toyota Tacoma and Tundra trucks?... Those things will not die by any means.
MarloSoBalJr Gaming My parent’s Sequoia was bought 2 months before I was born. Damn thing still drives.
So to buy American made cars... you buy them from Japanese companies instead of American companies? Wtf capitalism.
Some of the ones made my American companies are made in Mexico or Canada too. Thanks nafta.
@@guillermogutierrez-santana4446 Capitalism? The reason for all of these is goverment and their taxes.
2:28 "American chicken" *shows eagle*
It is the american bald eagle, one of the smallest eagles in the world and it mostly eats fish. So it is basically a glorified seagull.
Some Guy no its a chicken😂
Some Guy Bald Eagles across the world = Roasted
My script writing teacher one wrote about a bald eagle that thought it was a chicken. I wish I was making that up.
blame the animator
- Germany taxes American chicken so that Germans will eat European chicken...
- And suddenly no more foreign trucks in America...
The butterfly effect at it's finest.
Chicken effect in action
Better put:
Guy shoots a political figure, alliances kick in, war is fought, due to being the main part of the losing side, germany is blamed. Said blame is used by a guy who had a grudge against jews to get into power, uses said blame to ALSO justify a war of agression. Said wsr leaves germany destroyed. Germans start eating lots of chicken from the US as its the one main producer not ravaged by war, germany places a tax in foreign chicken. This angries farmers in the states and a revenge tax is placed on trucks. And now there are no foreign trucks in the US.
Ergo:
Serbian sympathizer shoots the heir of Austria hungary and now the US has almost no german trucks.
Ehh...there's actually a very direct line events there. Usually, the butterfly effect has a ton more steps, almost like a Rube Goldberg machine.
@@irishjet2687 check my previous comment. Still rather simple smbut stil
Also, I was going to say that it killed off non-American trucks EVERYWHERE, but I decided I'd quickly do a Google search to prevent embarrassing myself. Holy crap, there are so many cool trucks we Americans are missing out on! Like the Ford Falcon, which is basically Ford's version of the old El Camino and only sold in Australia, or the Mazda BT-50, or the Renault Alaskan!
Can someone tell me how to do taxes plz
Move to the middle of the ocean so you don't have to pay them.
How to do taxes:
Look up "How to do taxes" on Google/ -Bing-
Do your taxes
???
Profit
Ask that Sam guy
Well, just don't do it!
Not that it is illegal... Right?!
You see, Sergei. When do the taxes like this, never will you pay too much
How exactly do you even "do" taxes? In my country the government does them for you and you only need to correct them if something is different from their report
Triturate, I guess you are neither an employer, nor self-employed. But if you are simple employee in... most of Europe (including both EU and EEA members present and leaving, fully or partially located on European continent), then yes, it is simple. Your income tax is deducted from your salary automatically, and you don't need to worry about it.
If you do not file your taxes yourself in the U.S., than your taxes will not be done. You may owe or not get your refund. Also it is up to you to find and claim your deductions. The government will not help you. There are tax services like H&R Block and Turbo Tax that will help you file for about $40. You need to have records of all money you made through the year. You can do it all yourself for free, but the chances you will mess up and pay too much or not enough are high.
Triturate In the US, you have to file a tax return, which is just a form which states all of your income from over the year, and various deductions and exemptions that you may be able to claim. You send this paperwork into the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by April 15th. They check that you aren't claiming anything you aren't allowed to claim, and they send checks out (or you send them money) to sort out the difference. It's more complicated than that and is generally a giant headache.
In the US, we do our own taxes because the government is in the pocket of private companies like TurboTax, which sell essential assistance with filing taxes for a profit. Most of us don't know how bad we're getting screwed in so many areas of life.
That can easily be done in America, but the government is lazy.
I'm gonna name my first born the entire US tax code
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ in 20 years you’re gonna regret this
Will you change his name every time they change the tax code, or just let his name go out of date?
Nah just call them Deathan Taxes (surname).
well im gonna name mine all the dead memes in existence
You can get that name banned and then ban taxes forever
As an accountant who HATES tax season, I found this video thoroughly entertaining and even laugh out loud hilarious at points. Thank you for creating!!!
What is this? A tax code for ants?
No. It's a real tax system
Nathanh1223 It needs to be at least... three times bigger than this!
No.It's a tax system for midgets. America's is for giants.
The tax code needs to be at least... 3x bigger than this!
Nathanh1223 quality shitposting
the abrupt ending makes the video seem a bit incomplete
And made me hit the dislike button
I've always wondered how life is for people without humor. You guys must have a blast...
it is less than 5 mins long!
A bit incomplete, like my tax form.
Yeah, it seems rushed, like he made half of the video then slapped the sponsor message and called it a day
TL:DW Chickens made economy complicated
Doing good work
No the West Germans preference of US Chicken.
Man, I can't believe you made this video without mentioning the Subaru Brat! Subaru put laughable plastic seats in the cargo bed of their pickup truck in order to avoid this tax, but eventually the Feds caught on and said no, that's a truck.
This tax is responsible for one of the quirkiest car designs in history.
Late video? I blame the animator.
Care to name and shame him/her?
I blame the capitalist pigs
I blame taxation as it is (of course) theft.

_picture of bald eagle_
"...american chicken."
I´m currently writing an essay about this problem. The thing is just, I am from Germany. And this is so funny! "To make german farmers happy", loved that! Thank you for brightening up my day
I feel this one could EASILY been 5x as long with no repetition and many many examples of loop holes etc...
Complex taxes - brought to you by tax preparation companies and large corporations with teams of lawyers.
Heavin forbid we have a flat import tax with no exemptions as the only federal tax. It's much better to track every sale, every wage, every capital gains, and every little detail, and navigate through a complex web of laws so the connected can avoid paying anything.
AboboKing What do you know, anime avatar?
I don't know what's funnier, the fact that you actually bothered sharing your opinion about taxes anyways, or that I know exactly where your avatar comes from.
Anthony Deen -- it's kinda hard to not rant against taxes when you're still filling out countless spreadsheets of crypto trades and every last advertising penny and subscription from websites I run. It's a massive waste of time that with tax reforms could be eliminated. So yeah, I'm gonna rant against the tax structure if given the chance.
"Heavin forbid we have a flat import tax with no exemptions as the only federal tax."
Yes, imports are certainly not a good tax base. Consumption is much better.
seneca983 The arguments I've read for import or import/export tariffs are that it would result in only larger companies that deal with international trade having to deal with taxes. Something like a federal sales tax would force every single business owner to have to collect and report every last sale. A tarrif model, like the country used before the income tax, would make only those involved in internatinal trade have to do the paperwork, and usually, those are larger companies not mom and pop shops.
That's right, American chicken is actually bald eagle
“West Germany...” shows GDR-built East German/East Berlin metro
SimonHellinger wasn't it the S-Bahn that was operated by the 'Reichsbahn' ?
well the S-Bahn in East Berlin was obviously operated by GDR’s Reichsbahn, as was West Berlin’s S-Bahn until 1984. However, apart from the S-Bahn, both parts of Berlin still had a metro system (U-Bahn) and the train briefly shown in this is a “Gisela” train built from 1974 for East Berlin’s line that is now part of U2.
Spamme Loop Correct, before unification the S-Bahn was operated by the (eastern) Reichsbahn. The U-Bahn network was split in two separate nets.
Jens Schmidt so the U-Bahn might be in West Berlin which is West-Germany (kinda).
It might be intentional since he showed an eagle when he said chicken.
Amazing video. Oh Switzerland, so much the world could learn from you.
By now I think by now I've watched 20 amazingly smooth ad transitions from your channels alone. Fuck it, I'm getting a skillshare account.
I know I'm late, but you really should have mentioned the Subaru Brat. It's a small pickup that was imported to the US with two cheap, plastic, backwards seats bolted into the bed. That way it could be classified as a passenger car, and buyers could easily remove the seats themselves to get the full use of the truck.
Thanks man. I actually learned something about taxes today. Just another failure of American economic policy. no big surprise! If our tax code was 92 pages, I'd read it all myself and do my own taxes!
Adam V people don't do their own taxes in the us?
It depends. For people who don't own basically anything (like if you are a high school that still lives with your parents), then doing your taxes is simple and you can do yourself. However. for most americans doing your own taxes would end up causing you to loose out on deductions you could have made (i.e. paying more tax than you have to). Thus many people with hire a tax professional to figure it out for them.
Fiiischinator we mostly do it online through easy tax programs like TurboTax or have a tax preparer (3rd party) to file it for us
Here in Sweden, I get a pre-filled in tax statement in the mail (electronically if so desired). Then I verify the numbers are correct, add any additional deductions and sign it electronically. It takes less than five minutes unless you own companies or property and need additional forms. Then it might take ten. A few weeks later, if I have paid too much in preliminary tax, I get a tax refund deposited to my account. Or I get a bill for the rest if I my employer hadn't deducted enough from my monthly salary payments. Easy, streamlined, efficient, inexpensive; for the people as well as for the government. Win-win. And no need for expensive tax accountants or lawyers.
Seems to be quite a huge market for it if regular people can't do it themselves. We from Switzerland generally do it ourselves if we aren't self employed.
The first UK building you show has its windows boarded up just because it's no longer in use, to stop people/large animals/etc from getting in. It actually looks like a small railway station (they have a distinct architectural style over here, and many were abandoned during the Beeching Cuts of the 1960s), which suggests it was probably built *after* the window tax was abolished. Generally speaking, it's windows which have been *walled* up with brick/stone which were the ones hit by the window tax.
The Netherlands mostly fills in everything for you so it takes like 15 minutes tops
I was kinda expecting a massive 10 hour long video going over every single one of those 3000 pages
Go to the Andromeda Galaxy to avoid taxes.
in europe most dont have to do taxes. some have to, some do it to get money back.
At one time New Orleans taxed road frontage, so that produced the Shotgun house. At another time they taxed based on the number of rooms. This included closets. So the armoir (sp?) became popular, as it was a free-standing sub for a closet.
0:16
The Netherlands has the deadline on May 1st, not April 1st.
The April 1st deadline is for foreigners living in the Netherlands.
woestewouter96 The Dutch tax agency guarantees a response before the first of July if you submitted your tax filing before April 1. If you submit it after April 1 it might take some more time to get a response
True. It is "1 April" or "the 1st of April" here though, because we're Europeans and don't use some utterly mind-bogglingly idiotic non-sequential date format... If the year comes after the month, then the day must come before the month.
Robert Faber I'm European (Dutch) too, I was just trying to get a message across. I personally agree with sequential date formatting (I don't care if it's d/m/y or y/m/d) but when the names of the month are literally spelled out I think order doesn't matter because there'll be no confusion between days and months
I think this topic deserves a full-length video.
I work in customs brokerage and this just felt like a training video 😂
The response to the window tax went two ways. Some people boarded up their windows to pay less tax, others built places with even more windows to show off how rich they were.
4:03 Does skillshare has a course on listening to and understanding 3 different audios at once? If it does I'm buying it 100%
That was the single best sponsorship transition I have ever seen, dear God that was funny. I love this channel, keep it up!
Another great video! I just wish it was longer...
Daniel T He should have slowed down a little.
Daniel T That's what she said to me :(
Daniel T noooo. I watched it because it was under 5 min. I don't have time for 10 min videos.
I can understand that, maybe there needs to be an extended version as well :)
Longer? Like 3,713 minutes long?
Having a lot of laws is good for covering all your bases, but makes revision almost impossible. Even if the giant document is a problem, it's too much of a pain to actually go through and change things.
Welll the chicken tax did give us the super awesome Subaru Brat
I came to the comment section soley to make sure someone made this comment. Thank you sir. If TH-cam let me give you more thumbs up I would, but they don't, so here are a few more. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The rear ejector seats are the best
FUN FACT: Houses are taxed in Greece if they are completed, so houses there will have rebar sticking out or useless incomplete features so the houses appear to be still under construction
Half As Interesting probably learned how you be this good at sponsorship segues through Skillshare
The window tax mentioned at the end is often stated as the origin of the term 'daylight robbery'.
When the music came on, I thought I was watching a Sugar Pine 7 Video
Love these HAI videos. Keep rolling them out! All the best
All this is made complicated to allow people to cheat :p In Denmark as a private citizen, who just works, I don't even think you can cheat on your taxes much. We also have it fully automatic, you just gotta change your info if any changes that year online.
One way to cheat is to have your job not registered, and somehow mak a deal with a employer to go along with it. Have the money be paid in cash, while the company can have it as expenses (unless it's a public company, too bad for you then)
I could think of some other stuff, but I'm not familiar with how Denmark works so that's where I'll finish.
Yes lol, we have loads of...Let's say immigrant stores that prefers cash...*Wink* *Wink*
Everyone does :)
OH HELLS YEAH NEW HALF AS INTERESTING. It worries me just how much I fucking adore these videos, fully grown working man with real responsibilities but oh my days do I get a smile on my face. Keep up the good work man!
0:26 And that is one of the reasons why Switzerland is richer than the United States despite being a landlocked country, having fewer natural resources and the land area of a slice of cheese.
Marcos Beni That is one of the reasons
That is one *of the reasons*
That- That- *That is one of the reasons*
*THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS*
...
*IS THAT A FUCKING RELEVANT REASON THO?*
I am always reminded by how I live in Michigan (one of the best sources of fresh, i.e. usable water on Earth) and this state manages to be mediocre.
Marcos Beni All that Nazi gold probably helped! 😊
Smug Anime Girl nope we are not rich
makes sense
Subaru evaded the chicken tax by sticking seats in the bed of the BRAT in the 1970's, total genius.
I did my taxes drunk on the toilet. Love it when the government makes taxes easy.
4:00 The triple sponsor segues tho, thats probably the coolest way i've seen anyone do a sponsor segment.
Škoda cars that were made in Czech Republic had their engines removed, then sent to china and mounted back in, to avoid taxes for completed vehicles but only paid taxes for vehicle parts...
Anyway, in Czech Republic the tax system is also too complicated and stupid, there are going to be some changes (luckilly), sadly though, there are always leftists/populists that want progressive taxes, so it's considered like every 3 years :/
Milan Vosáhlo Progressive taxes are actually simple. Just ask anyone from the Netherlands.
Reilly Walker They are simple, but wrong for our nation. Been living in Denmark for part of my studies and progressive taxation works well there, but we had different development so it wouldn't be good in our country
Since 2014 all Ford Transit Connect vans for the US market have been made in Valencia, Spain. The older one was made in Turkey.
That Sugar Pine 7 music tho
Holy shit
Omg I immediately went to the comments to see if anyone else noticed lol
Stillantis (Previously FCA and PSA) does the exact same thing with the Ram ProMaster City. Only passenger versions of the van are imported to the U.S. from their plant in Turkey where the ProMaster City is made, but the seats are taken out for cargo van customers once they reach the U.S. This only happens with the Ram version because of the import tax, its Fiat Doblo sibling dosen't have to do any of that.
The US tax code, aka “Honest Graft!”
The Planet Money podcast actually has a really good episode regarding the chicken tax. Check out ep #632: The Chicken Tax for a more in depth explanation.
The pickup version of the '80s Subaru I bought the other day came with extra seats in the bed to get around the chicken tax. I guess the same trick only works once, unluckily for Ford. It is somewhat amusing that a tax at least partially indended to protect American automakers is now causing them problems thanks to cheap overseas manufacturing. I guess now it's an incentive for them and others to move factories to the US (which Subaru did).
I generally dislike the chicken tax because tariff wars are stupid but at the same time the BRAT is so fucking cool
I found this video so interesting, I wish it had been much longer.
There are not many foreign pickup trucks also because foreign companies don’t produce many pickup trucks, because they aren’t driven anywhere else
It's not that they aren't used, it's just that they usually are considered almost exclusively industrial vehicles, while in the USA (and a few other countries) they usually are considered more polivalent vehicles.
I don't remember the last time I saw a pickup truck here in Switzerland.
Tristan Möller
That's wrong. Trucks might be less popular in Europe, but the rest of the world does use trucks. Specially construction workers.
+Tristan Möller - That's just not true. European companies do indeed not make many pickups, but Japan churns them out at nearly as high a rate as the US does, and they export a lot of them too. You don't see many pickups driving around here in Europe, but those you do see are almost invariably Toyota Hiluxes or Nissan Navaras.
There's a good bit of Toyota and Nissian pickup trucks here in the US
No matter how uninteresting and confusing and unrelated a topic it is to me, I love your videos. Kudos to you mate!
Well that's a way to say "F You" for taxing Chicken.
@HalfAsInteresting The tax deadline in The Netherlands is May 1st, not April 1st. However, if you put your taxes in before April 1st, you'll sure get a response before June 1st, whereas if you do it in April you'll get it somewhere in Juli or August at the latest I believe.
window tax also where the term "daylight robbery" came from
It's a nice thought, but unfortunately it's an urban myth, like so many supposed ethymologies.
Doing taxes is pretty easy in Switzerland. You can download a program that explains you step by step which numbers to fill in on which page. Deductions are calculated on the go based on your values and implemented automatically. At the end you just have to scan receipts and sign your work. Some months later you will receive your definitive tax declaration.
I know this comment is 3 years old but I'm replying anyways. Its basically the same in the US. Sure the tax code is complicated but for your average American it isn't. I usually just get everything together, then file it all electronically using one of the variously available programs; usually takes less than an hour. The programs does everything for you, all we do is enter our forms.
[insert unoriginal comment about being early]
[Insert unoriginal comment about how that's unoriginal and that you should get off the internet followed by insults]
[insert unoriginal comment about how your political ideology is more important even thought this comment isn't political]
[insert unoriginal comment that asks "But isn't everything political, really?"]
[insert unoriginal comment about it being a reasonable time or even really late where I live and that you should respect the existence of mostly-arbitrary time zones]
Mage craft
Looks like you’re first, so you get a Crown: 👑
I always see Chevy, Ram, and Dodge pickups!
Toyota tacoma,Nissan frontier. Plenty of them around.
Yes. They are made here in the states
Not sure...but I don't think they tax Japanese vehicles?
They do. Toyota and nissan figured "Well, if we are going to be taxed 25% on every truck, then why not build them in the U.S. and save some money? So, they did.
To be fair literally the only recognizable domestically available Japanese pickup is the Toyota Hilux, literally no other manufacturer even offers anything that could be considered not industrial. The Toyota Hilux is not sold in the US.
Not exactly foreign vehicles when they're made in America
This is such a good channel. Even the ad for the sponsor at the end is funny
This video was a little light
It's only half as interesting as Wendover videos. *cough*
Complicated taxes can come about for two reasons. One is that simple tax codes tend to not be that fair to everyone (usually benefitting the richest more than the rest) but also due to lobbying because someone wants a special exception for themselves, or wants their competitors penalised so they don't have to compete (which is basically every tariff). Or sometimes its just lobbying by tax firms like H&R Block because if taxes were easier they would lose customers.
I'm dead serious that the chicken tax repeal would be my first act if I became president/ in power. BRING BACK THE IMPORT MINI TRUCK.
Zeksteve Even more reason to destroy it. All the other provisions were already removed, so why not just take the next step and wipe it.
Can’t help but think of sugarpine 7 with that background music at the beginning and end
why has nobody commented yet the comment he typed out at 3:17?!?!?!
I did, but someone probably beat me to the punch
That truck tax states it’s applied only to petrol powered piston engined trucks so diesel (compression ignition) trucks would be exempt
Feudalism is the best economic system
*_CHANGE MY MIND_*
5th Crusader Deus Vult
Crusaders don't ascend to heaven as "though shall not kill"
Smart Alec We go because the pope said so
Easy.
Feudalism is a system of government, not a taxation system.
All feudal lords did tax their denizens, but the laws about taxes were a part of the law of the realm, and differed from county to county, from duchy to duchy and from kingdom to kingdom.
Pay me 20 Coppers a month and I won't have you thrown in the Oubliette, got it peasant?
As a European, take my word there are no Chrysler or GM cars here. Never even heard of it.
Smh, your last video was 27 minutes long and Half As Interesting is supposed to upload around half as long videos. So then i expect a 15 minutes long Half As Interesting video. smh
Dhjaru Still, by an amazing coincidence, you got EXACTLY what you paid for viewing this free video on TH-cam. Isn't that remarkable!
Lol now he's gonna make a 5 min video with a 10 minute sponsor segment by Skillshare/Squarespace...
My country charges 18% service Tax on Udacity courses. I am planning to take a nano degree course there and it costs around $400 + around $70 service tax. It's really crazy. Eating in restaurants comes in 3% tax bracket. According to my government eating in fancy restaurants is considered a necessity and education is something only rich people do.
This is ridiculous I hate taxes and anyways you're stupud for covering this subject anyway your channel isn't funny your jokes aren't funny and anyways this is stupid I hate taxes I hate the government I hate the media I hate everyone why can't everyone just think the same as me and the world would be so much better for it this is such a stupid law/channel/video/voice/bad editing/ you're wrong and uninformed and misinformed besides why can't we just not have taxes or government or trade and all just live together in harmony alternatively we could have taxes and no free trade and an authoritarian system of government but on the other hand maybe democracy is kind of underrated these days or on the other hand we could just collectivise ownership of the means of production OR alternatively we could just start wwiii and be done with the whole thing and start from the beginning how does that sound guys?
What?
That sounds -great-
The response to the chicken tax is one of the most American responses I've heard in a long while. And at this point in my life I've learned to embrace our arrogance and give it a thumbs up.
Murica
TAXATION IS THEFT !!:a!:d!a:!!a!df:a!d:a!da!!!
Yeah but living in the state of nature would be worse so shut it.
@T.H. Caro: you look a lot less sarcastic than the original poster.
blank nope
Insert angry comment that misses the joke here
yeah thought that the full caps plus random typing at the end would be a good enough disclaimer but looks like i was wrong
probably because cross-country skis are recreational equipment while downhill skis are sporting equipment...
Half as interesting... twice as depressing. Taxation is theft. :(
Corey Badeaux
False.
Taxes pay for our basic needs. Yes, gigantically complicated tax codes like the US's are stupid. No, this doesn't mean that we should give up all of our roads, schools, healthcare, and basic government functions because you're salty about having a little less cash on hand.
Ike Okereke
True.
Daniel Stewart healthcare? In thought this was 'merica
Tax the greedy not the needy. Vote communist party.
Shout out to TH-cam for teaching me what my social studies teachers don’t, I prayyyyy I can pass this essay
Just for the record - actual Transit Connect is manufactured in Valencia, Spain.
The window tax led to the common expression "daylight robbery".
For about 25 years compact pickup trucks manufactured in Japan were very popular with American's. Toyota still manufactures full size models in Texas. The reason you don't see many import light trucks is American full size models were and are more popular than similar Asian models(for example, the Ford F series vs the Nissan Titan) ,and the market for compact pickup trucks evaporated about ten years ago.
Damn 3 ad transitions at once is surprisingly convincing
0:22 and the Netherlands treats their taxes as an April Fools' joke...
You got to love on how he brings in his sponsors. :p
after that segway x3, I'm sold.
As a brit, the idea of 'doing taxes' is so weird. We literally just get a deduction on our payslip each month. Then at the end of the year, if anything was wrong you get an adjustment. Proper weird
Yay, another Skillshare ad, havent' seen one of those in seconds...
It was the best Skillshare ads I've seen yet
This is crazy for me. In Chile taxes are submitted electronically and takes roughly 5 minutes for 90% of the population.
The Toyota Tacoma is, by far, the best-selling "compact" (I use that term somewhat loosely) pickup in the US. It, the Honda Ridgeline and Nissan Frontier are all assembled in the US in order to avoid the chicken tax. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans are shipped in pieces from Germany and put together in a plant in South Carolina.
This vídeos has the best ad segway ever
Half as interesting is the king of insults and repeating phrases
Idea for video: Why do the tiles used in drop-ceilings look the same no matter where you are in the world?
I first learned about the Chicken Tax from Regular Car Reviews.
What adds to the complications is the language in which the law is written.
Planet Money of NPR had a really nice episode on this, with interview with industry leader
