Italy is the EU energy laggard because its “ideological not scientific”, and now the good citizens of Italy are paying heaps for this stance.

  1. Italy depends on imported gas
  2. Its power costs are among highest in the world
  3. Renewable energy push lags EU peers
  4. Meloni dismisses green transition as ideological, not scientific

Of course they did. In today’s climate, I’m only surprised the USA didn’t join them.

I’m wondering how much pain is in the pipeline.

Have we seen a greater military blunder than this one?

But Trump/The US is giving several periods of history at once.

There’s the how did ordinary people fall for Hitler thing.
There’s the Frenchy French upper class living in obscene wealth detached from reality, and ostentatiously displaying it while people are working in total poverty thing.
And there’s the clearly insane Emporer ordering his army to stab the sea thing.

Edit: again, not a doctor, but I feel like you could also throw in some mad English King showing complete contempt for the lower classes and them being just fine with that.
