    I guess “government getting 340 million more from monarchy this year” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it

      It would have been even worse had there been no king, if it was given to the conservatives to control. Instead of renewables, it would have probably gone to fracking

      Liberalists cry into their guano coffee. “Nooo! You’re not supposed to do that!”

      But honestly, if a European monarchy has not become self sustaining by this point, they should be dissolved, but goddamn they be raking in the money.

      Also, the nordic monarchies do more as philanthropists than most billionaires and they focus on cultural preservation.

      The American brain cannot comprehend.
