“Drive to a library” - After all those decades reading about US stuff, it still baffles me how many things we take here for granted in Europe. I don’t bat an eye when people measure distances in hours, I’m completely aware of the vast distances and the reliance on cars, and I still get surprised whenever I read about another mundane thing that’s not just easily accessible by walking (or taking short range public transport) in the states.
Right? I have two libraries that are about 20 mins walk from me. The next two nearest are about 20-30 mins by bike or less by bus. I’m so glad I don’t live in the US (for multiple, multiple reasons).
Don’t worry, the UK is heading down the same route with our own mini maga simp, the full blown traitor farridge who has already asked trump to punish the uk.
But we at least have a few more years of state provided health care until farridge sells it off to the USA.
I lived on a relatively small island in the usa growing up. The library there was within biking distance but as a kid I’d have loathed walking that far. If we went as a family it was always driven.
Currently library is within walking distance! If I want to die to the stroad :<

If you can prove the nazis took the german citizenship from one of your ancestors, you can get it back.
Otherwise try being a doctor or something.
If you have any EU citizenship you can live in the Netherlands and enjoy the bike infrastructure.
