There is a 10% reciprocal tax on Heard and McDonald Islands.

I had to look this up to make sure it was real.

There is a 10% reciprocal tax on Heard and McDonald Islands.

These are islands that form part of the Australian territory.

Heard Island in fact has Australia’s active volcano and tallest mountain.

Both islands …. are uninhabited lmao.

I'm wondering what happened for someone to single them out. Did one of Musk's incels claim they had a girlfriend from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and everyone laughed?
