Of course with a square package and no pin 1 mark, it’s impossible to tell
whether the glorious achievement is Dutch or French.
Of course the EU will convene another summit and fail to decide, as usual.

I sometimes think that huge, irresolute governments are good.
They can't decide on new regulations to bother and impair us.

Better yet, they can't enforce them.
Some small portion of the population is actually productive. We make
the food and power and roads and buildings for the rest.
John Larkin doesn't understand much, so it looks that way to him.
Post by john larkinMost government employees are useless or worse.
If you don't understand what they are doing. it can look that way.
The anti-government propaganda which has formed John Larkin's thinking
on the subject is paid for by US industry, which wants to be free make
as much money as possible by organising itself into cartels and
over-charging its customers.

which is about the climate change denial propaganda machine which has
formed John Larkin's opinions about climate change.

so maybe not much will change.
If it did John Larkin would only notice if his favourite propaganda
sources told him that it had. The US education system does seem to churn
out a lot of gullible suckers, and Trump does seem to want to make sure
that it doesn't get improved by any Federal government intervention.
