    Effectively it does, we are so dependent on thebus in so many ways, whenever we do something they dont like, they threaten to take something away or increase tariffs. In the end europe caves.

        It’s why we pay tariffs. Why we enforce US anti circumvention laws. Why we allow big platforms to reduce their taxes to almost nothing. Why we don’t tax based on citizenship, while the us does.
