They don't have standing. This is just some state attorneys looking to make their names and get some revenue if they can get enough friendly rulings.

Politicians always and only lie. The unaccountable bureaucrats in the EU are just a particularly wretched example of the type. You'd have a significantly better rate of accuracy predicting what any given piece of legislation will do by assuming its the exact opposite of whatever it was titled.

Its not even a question of well-meaning stupidity or evil at this point. If they were merely misguided, they'd get it right occasionally if only by accident.

The real problem is those who were trusted have betrayed that trust. Horribly, blatantly, and continually.

If I cheat on my wife and lie about it for years, then she finds out and files for divorce, the problem isn't her lack of trust in the marriage.

It was never a valid tool.

No.

Seconded. May their efforts be rewarded with frustration and failure.

Yeah, every time your team doesn't win means that democracy is over. We've been hearing this from you and your ilk for freaking decades, and yet elections still happen. Stop drinking the lead paint for five minutes and calm down.

Just become the robot your government wants you to be and everything will be fine! You're the idiot for not wanting to go along with it.

If your plan depends on everyone going along with your plan, it isn't a good one.

China's big problem is the demographic crisis. That one child policy really screwed them in the current short/medium term. If they can manage it half as well as Japan did, we probably won't see a social collapse or any of that exciting stuff our breathless influencers like to peddle.

While the structural criticisms of communism are true, China hasn't really been economically communist since Mao shuffled off. Closer to a fascist model than anything, with the state taking a huge role in large companies, but still letting them play in the market.

Anti propaganda. FTFY.

Hope you don't tweet anything unapproved.

They're being banned around the world because the government can't stand anything that isn't 100% in their control at all times. Someone who depends on electricity for cooking and heating can have those things shut off on a moments notice. Its much harder to turn off a privately owned 1000gal tank of LPG.

If the benefits were truly so very great, all you'd have to do in order to get near 100% conversion is to simply advertise the benefits and let the market handle it for you. No artificial ban needed.

And a media apparatus which creates propagandized drones like yourself.

They're trying to misapply the interstate commerce clause to help their business. Wouldn't expect anything else really.

60% of the time, it works *every* time.
