I remember hearing a story from someone visiting france. They were in a smaller town, at some kind of hardware store. There was a line of farmers, each holding a very small tank for propane - just a couple days worth at the most.

He asked why they did not have larger quantities delivered to their farms. They would save buying in bulk and not have to come to town so often.

The farmers shrugged and tried to explain that coming to town every couple days to buy in very small amounts saved a tremendous amount of money in taxes.

It is a crime. It is getting just as bad here. I see so many companies making a break for it and moving overseas.

That’s really awful! Yet the farmers in this country are cutting their own throats as well, by continually voting for democrats and demanding more safety nets and getting into bed with unsupported green tech.
