They have to raise taxes to make up for the losses. Government never declines, only grows.

Rumor has it though that Hamburglar will remain in London due to Swiss laws prohibiting the wearing of any mask “not of the ski variety” in public. Ronald is supposedly being transferred to Amsterdam at his request.

parsy, who is guessing Ronald is like a pot head, maybe? (You know the long hair, lack of a meaningful job, and slovenly appearance.)

While US corporations base their North American operations in Canada.

Watch the moving vans head north to Canada thanks to the change from Capitalism to Socialism south of the border.
