Conrad Black: Washing away the Climate Lunatics
Black’s article serves as a cautionary tale about the potential pitfalls of hasty and ideologically driven climate policies.Watts Up With That?
As with #Russia, #Israel, and other places, not the country or even its peoples are the problem but the often illegally elected regimes or their actions contrary to international law and in violation of human rights.
That said, I do hope that the "leaders" of the aforementioned countries, including #Hungary's, will be ousted sooner rather than later.
"The government has just approved the transfer of NBS anti-aircraft guns, tactical unmanned surveillance systems, as well as other essential material and technical assets to the AFU.
With each shipment, we affirm friendship 🇺🇦 to the nation and its fight against the aggressor #Russia, which is the biggest threat to world peace and security. #Latvia annually allocates 0.25% of GDP to the military support of #Ukraine."

Belarusian authorities are preparing children for war with the #EU
In orphanages, schools, and camps, the military teaches children how to handle weapons.
These children are covered by the Belarusian state program "Lessons of Courage", which is aimed at the total militarization of the younger generation. They think that what adults in uniform are doing to them, preparing them for war is right.

I could see the #UK customers having to pay more now, as the #EU is a customs union that has signed #FTA|s with many countries. The #UK will not be able to replicate that. Still, these duties would not be levied in #Ireland, but the #UK.

Maybe we got carried away here a bit. Apart from some exotic taxes (excise tax, perhaps?), there shouldn't be any custom duties, as the #EU and #UK formed a #FreeTradeArea by signing the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (#TCA):

So what do we need, ideally? The equivalent of VC but for tech for the common good.
Pick ten organisations working the common good and give them €5M each. Let them experiment. Let them pivot. Let them cooperate. The only thing you don’t let them do is exit. You can’t sell. Build something for the commons that will live on for the next ten, twenty, fifty years… if not more.

To all reading this:
Don't just complain. Write your local EU parlamentarian and ask, if (s)he could intervene on behalf of the #EU #Fediverse presence. Especially with the upcoming elections, this will have at least some impact.
By the way:
A classic letter - yes, written on dead tree - has more impact than just an email. Keep it polite and explain your personal motivation to write.
This is one of your rights as a citizen in a #democracy. Write your parlimentarians!
