Italy and its government is dysfunctional.  Every time I went something was blocked because of a strike.  Hell going to a soccer game you will see riots and strikes and riot police.  
 

I try not to project a North American perspective on a European issue because we are very different societies.

 

My family in the south are farmers by the way.

The Benefits of World Hunger

 

Quote

We sometimes talk about hunger in the world as if it were a scourge that all of us want to see abolished, viewing it as comparable with the plague or aids. But that naïve view prevents us from coming to grips with what causes and sustains hunger. Hunger has great positive value to many people. Indeed, it is fundamental to the working of the world's economy. Hungry people are the most productive people, especially where there is a need for manual labour.

...

Much of the hunger literature talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive. That is nonsense. No one works harder than hungry people. Yes, people who are well nourished have greater capacity for productive physical activity, but well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work.

...

For those of us at the high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster. 

...

No wonder people at the high end are not rushing to solve the hunger problem. For many of us, hunger is not a problem, but an asset.

KLM is not happy. Imagine if you are in the tourist industry in Amsterdam?

 

Dutch government issues world-first cap on flights from European hub
 

Schiphol airport, the third busiest in Europe, will be required to limit traffic to below its pre-pandemic peak, to reduce pollution
 

Schiphol airport in the Netherlands is set to permanently cut the number of flights in a bid to reduce noise and air pollution. Campaigners described the decision as a “historic breakthrough” that could help curb emissions from the aviation industry. 
 

From the end of 2023, Schiphol airport, the third busiest in Europe in terms of passenger traffic, will limit the maximum number of flights each year to 440,000, 12% less than in 2019, the Dutch ministry of transport said in a statement on Friday.
 

The flight cuts aim to restore “the balance between a well-operating international airport, the business climate, and the interests of a better and healthier living environment”, transport minister Mark Harbers said in the statement. 
 

The government said the airport, which has faced staff shortages this year, must rein in its growth as the country seeks to reduce CO2 emissions and pollutants such as nitrogen oxide. The Netherlands previously cut the national speed limit to 100km per hour (62 mph) to reduce nitrogen pollution.
 

“This is a difficult message for the aviation sector that is still recovering from the far-reaching consequences of the coronavirus pandemic,” Harbers said.

...or any industry, since they just told everyone "don't come here, go do your business in Germany or Belgium".

Actually,  although I have always loved this Genesis says it a bit differently. 

To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, `You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.

 

Never listen to the pressure around you. Always stand on your moral beliefs.

Exactly.  Gulag food is better than hotel buffet food.
