  @teratology @wintermute_oregon @realcaseyrollins depends where in europe and what you are doing.
  
  importing a Deluge from new zealand had an import duty of 0$ because the USA doesn't really charge other colonials import tax. the same device to a German musician held something like a 300$ overhead to the government.
  
  in my recent reading about cinema cameras, someone was charged around 170$USD to have their camera sent back to black magic for servicing. the brits and euros it was more like 400$.
  
  there are a lot of import/export fees and license buggery that just doesn't exist in the USA.
  
  but my original point was you just have these wealthy or scholarship/loan people that want cheap coffee at school but then someone tells them to be mad about what the poors make, and i don't think it actually occurs to them that paying the barista 20$ an hour means the cost of their coffee is going to go up.

  @wintermute_oregon @realcaseyrollins a lot of those people are just useful idiots. they're mad about whatever they've been primed to riot about. they don't actually have a basic understanding of how food arrives at stores or the implications of wages on the cost of their coffee. it's really sad.

  @realcaseyrollins neutralized is part of modern military speak to dehumanize people and desensitize everyone to the business.
  
  same reason they spent millions of dollars in vietnam trying to figure out the optimal ways to mindfuck regular people in to obeying pointless orders to continue senseless violence.
  
  it turns out most people are not sociopaths and are uninterested in violence without a purpose or an ending, which doesn't really suit the USA and its allies all that well. so they came up with a lot of shit like this (reducing people to "targets" and you "neutralize" them.)
