I saw an article on how Paris is going to add a punitive tax on SUVs and other overszied cars. Seems like an (edit: legitimately) great idea.

I wonder if it only pertains to households under a certain income level, kind of like their ban on shorthaul flights.

Reading the article, its just higher parking fees. So yeah, just a poor people tax.

Wow. It really does. If this actually happens, I’ll be delighted.

Edit: I’d like this to go into effect throughout France, rather than just being limited to Paris. Also, I hope the term “auto-besity” catches on.

For our non-expert English speakers, yes, the above comment is absolutely dripping with sarcasm.

Yeah, and I was reading too many acronyms and misunderstood things. I deleted my comment.
