YES. It's the social contract. #Finland is generally a pretty good deal to Finns; that is CRUCIAL for the willingness to defend it!
Sadly, we've been governed too often by greedy people who understand the price of everything, but value of nothing.

This. That’s why I’ve tried to say since 2016 that Europe must wake up. Democracy is threatened.
I think the danger is someone else more competent will emerge in years to come. Not a Trump 2.0 but summoning and binding the same dark forces but to greater effect.

Buenísimo esto de Emilio. Y creo que deberíamos darle una vuelta a que el mayor éxito comunicativo que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo surja de una crítica al antipatriotismo de los negacionistas. Las luchas climáticas más importantes se van a dar en terrenos no directa o evidentemente medioambientales
Andrea Ropero, del Intermedio, me entrevistó para hablar de cambio climático y negacionismo. Si tuviera que escoger una idea, escogería esta. Porque es la pieza que permite encajar muchas cosas y además lanzo un guiño al gran Lester Freamon (The Wire): ¿negacionismo? Sigue el rastro del dinero.

That means in 2025, this extremely contagious disease spread consistently in our country for the first time since 1998.
This was preventable, which makes it embarrassing -- in more ways than you might realize:
