I mean, if an EU citizen’s initiative to tax the rich cannot get a paltry 1 million signatures (less than one quarter of one percent of the population), I guess we really must deserve this bullshit system.
You still have five days, sign this ffs:

We may have found the perfect motorhome. Plus was GoFundMe a mistake? - videos.trom.tf/w/suHmXNPUBLUUW…
We are searching for a good motorhome in Europe to buy. Second hand of course, and around 20-24 years old. It is what we can afford. Luckily we may have found one! 😃

The american "motorhomes" are honestly insane...
The motorhome we are looking to buy is maybe a bit bigger than that pickup truck in the photo haha. Even if someone would give me that motorhome and it won't be an issue driving or parking it, I would sell it day one and buy a "normal" motorhome.
It is simply insane to me how in US people don't look at this and laugh or be shocked. That is a fucking train.

I think we found THE motorhome :D - maybe the perfect one for us :)
I'll give you more info but we need to deal with the buying of it these days. We negotiated it for 18.000 which is really great for us. We still dont have all the money so we have to borrow some. After we buy it we will be so broke it will be funny. .)) But yah, we will do it. TROMhome - tromhome.com/

TROMhome:
This is our new, and kinda personal, project tromhome.com/
Although it is also about TROM.
This will be our home and it will take us to many new places, meeting many new people and projects. We will talk to people about TROM, try to organize talks and meetings, volunteer for all sorts of trade-free projects, and make videos about all of our adventures.
That’s the plan at least 😀 !
We have released a fundraiser to help us a bit if possible. See gofundme.com/f/help-us-get-the…

Ok tomorrow I'll release our TROM Home project :P - lots of things to do these next few weeks. For one I'll go see 2 motorhomes in Barcelona this week. At the same time I will start to make videos for this new project, but also keep up everything TROM related up to date and functional. I have kinda finished another 1h 40 min video with me ranting about this world haha. Recorded in 2022 after we finished TROM II. I will release that one too.
My broken finger is healing, the tourists are going home finally so we can start to get some quieter time, and I am obsessed over motorhomes: power systems: powerbanks, solar panels, energy consumption....water tanks, how to deal with a motorhome, where to go, what-not. All of these will coalesce into the video series I'll start for TROM Home.
Oh these days I've red this crazy news about the discovery that humans can breath through their asses....wtf haha. Couldn't help but mentioning this. I love tromnews.com I use that website daily.

So these motor homes have a water tank and all? So you can wash your hands or take a bath? Does it even have a toilet?! Lol 😄
Okay so the respiration through butt thing I already knew 'cause I watched this video during the covid days - youtube.com/watch?v=azBkMZuqu0…
Oh yah man it is a house on wheels, and the ones we want are not that big really. You'll see we will make videos about them. You have a kitchen, a bathroom with shower, a bed, desk....everything :D
haha so you knew about the ass breathing. that's crazy

I think is much more effective to tax property. And property is already taxed.
Not to talk about that there isn't a centralized european tax office.

We have one weekend left where this can go viral. I think it is still possible.
Heck, I guess there a million people in #greece alone who would sign this if they get to see it!
Germany and France have over 100,000 signatures each. We need visibility in Eastern and Southern Europe, Portugal and my own homeland #Ireland.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •I assume since Germany already has 150% of the required votes, my vote won't make a difference anymore.
France is at 200%, Denmark at 100%.
It's the people in other countries who apparently don't care, or more likely don't know that this even exists.
Belgium is close with 90% but that's it.
Assuming that Belgium can still hit 100%, that would make 4 out of 7 countries which would be required for this to be even able to pass.
2 days to convince people of 3 more countries that this is important and have them hit the threshold, and 660.000 more votes in total.
I don't think it's going to happen.
