    This is such a typical move from the EU. They always have big loud proposals to cut off that, to go full EV/go all organic/ go all open source etc. Then they ALWAYS chicken out. “What will the market think?” " Oh, that big corporation is saying they will lay off if we go that way." " Our sys admin costs will go up if we don’t subscribe to that corporate plan."

    Next they start throwing a tantrum because people lose faith in the EU, start looking to hard liners etc.

    Four years ago they said: look we are so powerful and implicated in your daily lives, we decided to get out of the Daylight saving time system and impose it on all member states, starting in six months…

    They couldn’t even manage what was meant to be a weak demo of their strong willpower and political determination.

    The EU is a political midget. It hurts me so much to admit it. But yeah, it’s dead. The whole thing.

      It is enough to make one wonder if it was all just political theatre to distract the masses while the ultrawealthy and megacorps laughed all the way to their offshore accounts and tax havens.
