It's not just what you know, it's who you know.""

How France Got So Lazy
How France Got So Lazy - The Daily Beast:
"But back at home, it’s increasingly clear that stifling union rules, high unemployment (and higher taxes), and a baffling lack of entrepreneurial spirit signal a country in crisis.
And the deepening sense of dread can be traced directly to the educational system."

""Basically, what we're trying to do is help our local economy and keep dollars in the community," he said....
......"But whether all of the commissioners can agree on the details is uncertain.
For example, while Nash's proposal had focused on businesses in Muskegon County, District 5 Marvin R. Engle, for instance, would rather include businesses in the greater regional area, including Kent County.

America Has Become A Crazy Control Freak Nation – Illegal Everything
America Has Become A Crazy Control Freak Nation – Illegal Everything | Consciousness TV
"Our lives are governed by millions of laws, rules and regulations and more are being piled on all the time.
In fact, 40,000 new laws just went into effect in January.
Every single new law restricts your freedom just a little bit more.
The truth is that America has become a crazy control freak nation where virtually everything that we do is highly regulated.
You have probably broken multiple laws today that you don't even know exist.
We have all become criminals and lawbreakers because almost everything is illegal at this point.
Our politicians are convinced that they are "making life better" by piling gigantic mountains of laws on to our backs, and law enforcement authorities are convinced that they are helping society by "cracking down on crime", but the reality is that our liberties and our freedoms are being strangled by all of this government oppression.
This is not the way that America is supposed to work."

One day, turning off the lights won't be up to you
One day, turning off the lights won't be up to you - Telegraph
"If our government were not lost in a bubble of complete make-believe, it would keep open those coal-fired power stations the EU is forcing us to close next month (although it may be too late), it would stop subsidising grotesquely expensive wind farms, and it would go flat out to exploit Britain’s vast reserves of the shale gas that has more than halved US gas prices in four years.
But we do not have such a government.
Our lights will go out, our economy will suffer a catastrophe, our bills will double, and tens of thousands more people will die of cold in those freezing winters that our politicians were somehow fooled into believing would never come again."
