EU in action: Bottle cap retainers

A commenter notes:

> This was just a simple case of bureaucratic corruption. Someone with good political connections had a stake in a company that created this kind of bottle caps but nobody wanted to buy them. So they had a little talk with the politician friends, and lo and behold, suddenly it's mandatory to have these caps. And it takes at least a few months for manufacturers to adapt their own cap design, so for a few months everyone had to buy from that one company.
You could even tell easily because initially all caps had the same design, but now there's a different designed cap for many different brands as they've created their own.

Sounds likely.

Rather than growing more prosperous, in many countries - particularly those most inclined to lecture others about economic governance - they are in fact sinking deeper into poverty and Britain seems to be leading the way.
The economy of Britain and other European nations are being demolished in what can only be described as a deliberate manner. On Sunday, the London Times revealed that between the start of 2025 and 2026, as many as 104,000 small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) failed.

The same policies were being implemented with an ever increasing zeal for years and in some cases, decades, with a continuity that spans many successive governments regardless of what the ordinary people vote for. That all can’t be the result of incompetence in government. If, by contrast, it is the result of a deliberate plan, then we must ask who planned it, and what are the plan’s ultimate objectives?

Interview by Nima

At About 8:00 PM Eastern (ish)

Today the Dutch defense personnel are meeting in Marknesse with Ukraine defense personnel. The Ukr's are showing the Dutch "their" drones. The media tells us that the drone can carry wounded soldiers from the battlefield on a waterbed. A clown show of the first order. This country I live in, is sooo absurd.

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
