I despair because it wouldn’t make a difference. Most of those who should be convinced by this figure would dismiss it out of hand. Only (sex) scandals, not policy choices, seem to matter in politics nowadays.

I just finished it about a month or two ago after a decade on my shelf - exactly the same printing as in the photo! What really struck me was his praise of the Middle Ages and scorn for the classical period, especially Rome.

This is the case even in places like Amsterdam. Shopkeepers repeat “no parking, no business” like a mantra. My hunch is that none of them ever walk or cycle and can’t imagine others doing so.

Had to read that a few times because I’m used to hearing “it’s hard to beat” so much I didn’t notice the not. Was almost convinced that sugar cereal, cheeseburgers and donuts would help 😆 — alas!

I was mainly shopping at a Kroger store (Fred Meyer) - but at the end of the trip I figured it out and used a coupon, Kroger card and some other trick to get a massive discount. It was like winning a boss fight.

I noticed this too when visiting the US. Grocery shopping was stressful because the prices shown were not what you ended up paying. So many tricks! Also noticed how avoiding the metric system helps obfuscate prices.

I see many dissatisfied people here, who feel the EU failed them. I think these same citizens should take the power back and buy European goods and EU businesses develop alternatives to US monopoly products.
