GDP up 4.3%, murders down 20%, suicides and opiate deaths down too, life expectancy recovered and rising again, cancer survival up and disability down, bee populations coming back...
It's been an incredible year.
Merry Christmas everyone!
As they say, things always seem impossible until they are done.
While few still doubt that we can clean up large amounts of plastic, I donât think most people realize that we now have all the tools to actually make the ocean clean again.

This is Sergey Brin's yacht
He got so bored of sitting on this $450M yacht that he had to get out and go create things again

Because the EU is a good thing if it'd be democratic
The US is also a federal union of states and seems to work fine
Europe is much better if it's not fragmented in lots of separate countries
There's little difference between me a Dutch person or German or Spanish in modern identity, we should keep our traditions though, just like Texas has its traditions while having a federal union called the United States of America
But right now the European Union obviously does NOT function and is NOT democratic, because it's been taken over by an unelected authoritarian group of career politician cronies called the European Commission
They stole the power from the people and we have to reform the EU to take it back
Long term a federal European union of states is preferable
Especially if you want to compete with China
