Wow! Thank you so much for taking the effort to properly spell her name with Polish letters. That is a rare example of politeness and care. My name is also Polish (but without Polish letters) and it was a rare pleasure to have it spelled correctly in the UK.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Russian soldiers confess to their families about crimes they commit in Ukraine

A typical EU response these days. Condemnation.... Late.... The threat of thinking about doing something relatively ineffective.... and then doing the least possible and so late it no longer matters.

The problem is you are gradually succumbing to intimidation. The fact that you are saying Ukraine is not going to be a member of NATO shows how much you have given over to Putin already.

Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers
