That is almost a reinterpretation of the quote. That quote however just means that a country that already fails because of small, everyday banalities, must fail even more because of infinitely more loudmouthed goals. Germany dreams of a future of hobbits on bicycles and without nuclear power, and China meanwhile is building the fastest bullet train in the world, building nuclear power plants, and in the third world coal power plants and oil and gas power plants are mushrooming around and "overcompensating for " the selfdenying German self-flagellation. We see that at EU level, too. Its plans and ideas - often thankfully - fail time and again. It does not become more realistic and more modest, no - it still adds difficulties and demands an even greater challenge and a lot more responsibilities. If you allow to prepare for such idiots, who already fail in the small, an even bigger stage, than their failure has far wider, costlier consequences - what is the result of this as an even bigger failure catastrophe ...?



Think smaller. Do not extend the reach of policymakers, but limit them. Its called "preventive damage control". Policymakers have no answers, and they are not the solution. They are part and root cause of many many of our problems. Why ? Because they have infinte amounts of counterfeit money, toy currency tokens that delay the bill we have to pay for them, and second reason: time. One could see their terms as careers as commons, and thinki of nthe problem here as the tragedy of the commons, a variation of it. Because it is claimed they take turns and rotate in and out (in fact they are almost impossible to get rid of, spend all their lives in their careers in politlics, and often cannot even be voted for or against: on EU lead levels, that is), time is a sparse commodity, and they want to to make - selfish - use of it to the best of their interests for thier careers and power hunger. They spend thta time in ever raising promises and ever raising expectations, even if these already are beyond the reaosnable and realistic. Cijmate poltlics is a perfetc exmaple. The ambitions in palce already are unreloasrtic now, no matter whether therte realisation is necessary or not - they won't be met, becasue it is not possible without totally crippeling the continent and igniting civil wars in a dozen places. And what happens? To win the popularity competition, these demands get raised more every year.

The world will not take Europe as an exmaple to follow, that simple it is. It already does take Europe as an exmaple of how not to do it. America, India, China, Indonesia, and all te other upclimbing biog economies in the third world - they all see now their time coming to reach for a seat at the table of kings. They all push their industries and economies. We have dumped the oil price becasue we produced less in the past 18 months in Europe. What happened? The refining capacities for crude oil climbed to an all time high and all the oil that went cheap because of of our reduced production, was bought up by these uprising economies who now could buy it cheaper, and so: more of it.

Thats the effects the EU does not have on its planning board. Or Germany. Just recently the German govenrment had to admitt that they planned with way too low electric power demand in the future, and that the trend for it seems to be at the reverse direction that was propagated: upwards, not downwards. And steeply so. Real experts tell that since many years! BTW, the European powergrid just weeks ago has suffered another almost-desaster, the second this year already, again the shockwave originated in Spain. Our beloved state media did not mention it. And this altough we were just short off a blackout that could have hit huge parts of the continent and could have lasted for DAYS. And then the consequences from that. The European powergrid doies not gain stabulity. It desintegrates, and at accelerating and frightening pace. Since years.



The german authorities recently showed unable to even just react to the clear warnings for the weather hammer that was falling. But they claim to have the perfect plan for climate saving? Decades into the future, and they foresee it in all its imoplicitons and inner chaotic self-dynamcis? They know how to manage it so that the world stands in awe, but they cannot even complete a small airport within 15 years? Cannot have realistic projections for near future energy demands?

Traumtänzer. And nobody wants to watch their show.
