Time for Europe to grow up

JD Vance´s speech in Munich was like listening to a grown up correcting a spoiled kid. Finally, a truth speaking voice that cannot be ignored by the elites. I have been waiting for a moment like this for the past ten years and for the first time, I now feel hopeful that some real changes might come. Europe’s current trajectory is heading for total disaster and there are only two options that I can see. 1) A major reform of the EU bureaucracy that properly reflects the will of the people (i.e. downsizing), or 2) the EU shatters.

Blog post #200

Two hundred weeks of consecutive blog posts tonight. Solid proof of the power of incremental improvement. Of course, I do not expect anyone to read all my 200 brain dumps. That was never the purpose. The purpose was to improve my writing skills. And it is impossible to not improve if you do something for 200 weeks straight. And by the way, it is also impossible to not deteriorate if you commence in harmful activities for 200 weeks straight. The only difference is that it is a lot easier to be consistent with bad habits. Consistency with activities that improve your life and the life of everyone around you is very hard.
