It my impression that most people in the EU and outside of it think the citizens of the member countries can vote to replace that or change things, so its ok. Seems like something I'd be afraid of though if I were a EU citizen, or in a

It’s not cool anymore. To add to that, I was shopping for a car last fall and did research to compare small suv type cars and I found Tesla’s to be surprisingly affordable - or another way to put it I was shocked by how expensive new cars a
