Also it's important to NOT think of this as a direct move *by the Danish government*. The pension's board has a Ministry of Finance member, but 9/10 are non-government. This is an independent move undertaken by non-government actors, not a diplomatic decision.

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
