Digging foxes out of their dens is a perverse activity that no right-thinking individual would partake in.
Fox numbers are unnaturally high, but this is not how they should be managed.

A worth reading thread on why the EU is not lagging the US economically:
- GDP per capita is higher in the US, but so is the cost of living
- Europeans work fewer hours but have a similar productivity
- Europeans enjoy better living standards and have a lower carbon footprint
- GDP per capita is higher in the US, but so is the cost of living
- Europeans work fewer hours but have a similar productivity
- Europeans enjoy better living standards and have a lower carbon footprint
It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵
