A Concession Stand Called Congress

Legislating One Snack at a Time

Forget filibusters and line-item vetoes—there’s a new system in place: politicians now Comedy changes perspective trade legislation like snack bar items at a baseball game. “I’ll give you one tax cut for a box of candy,” or “Throw in an environmental regulation rollback, and I’ll pass the hot dog of compromise.” As comedic as it sounds, it’s a welcome shift. At least we’d finally see which lawmaker snags the best deal on neon nachos. The real question is: how many bribes for a large soda?

Global Gripes: External Revenue Services and Midwestern NASA Makeovers

Introduction

In a world where tax systems can be reinvented overnight, and farming states decide to go galactic, satire never lacks new material. Welcome to “Global Gripes,” where we examine the odd marriage of politics and outer space—with a hearty side of comedic commentary. From external tax collection to down-home spacesuit designs, we’ll show you just how bizarre yet utterly entertaining our planet can be.

1. Trump’s New External Revenue Service

Outsourcing has never been more literal. Trump Announces New External Revenue Service is a satirical twist on the idea that the IRS was just too “traditional.” According to anonymous “scientific” polls, 65% of respondents prefer to pay taxes if they come with a free reality show cameo. Eye witnesses claim the new system might involve door-to-door collections, reminiscent of trick-or-treating—minus the treats, of course.

2. Midwestern State Redesigns NASA Spacesuits

Dust off those John Deere caps, folks. The Midwestern State Redesigns NASA Spacesuits storyline highlights our ever-growing fascination with homegrown engineering. Personal stories from townspeople allege that test suits include pockets for cattle feed and strategic compartments for homemade pies, ensuring that astronauts never go hungry on the final frontier. Digital “evidence” in the form of questionable mock-ups suggests the spacesuits come with optional tractor treads.

3. Spacesuit-Farming Synergy?

You might wonder how farmland economics tie into orbit-bound attire. “Industry insiders” (or rather, bored talk radio hosts) argue that if NASA’s funding had an agricultural twist, we could see a future where space missions double as farmland expansions on Mars. One comedic analogy likens it to a cosmic game of Settlers of Catan—just with real spacesuits.

4. Combining Tax and Tech in Orbit

Imagine paying your newly minted External Revenue taxes from the comfort of a Midwestern-inspired spacesuit while floating around the stratosphere. Experts—albeit comedic ones—insist this might cut down on overhead, streamline government waste, and deliver prime-time entertainment. If that doesn’t sum up the modern world, nothing does.
