    It will never stop being absurd to me that so called “fiscal conservatives” can’t seem to understand what a limited resource is. Or pollution.

    Even if global warming was a complete hoax we should still be transitioning. Every nation that doesn’t have immense oil reserves should be transitioning! It’s literally in your national interests you nationalist fuckwits!

      “Fiscal conservative” was always just a reputable seeming veneer for “we’d rather let poor people die than tax the wealthy at the same rate as everyone else”.

    She’s right, it is ideological. The ideals are this planet and the humans on it, which ironically includes her.

    The EU keeps doing amazing and tough things for humanity. I’m always astounded at how much they’re achieving and I wish my government had even a fraction of the EU’s current operational capability.

    “at the expense of economic and social sustainability, [but] defending and promoting European production and safeguarding tens of thousands of jobs.”

    I mean, she’s right in general that the EU might not be taking care of the workers of the affected industries. But that doesn’t mean the way to take care of them is to halt the transition of the worst offending sectors. There’s no reason not to super subsidize the auto sector transition to make EVs in the EU other than ideology. The transition doesn’t mean dependence on Chinese EVs and jobless or downskilled auto workers.
