Omlidt er vi over 1/4 inde i det 21. århundrede og selvom verden virker mørk er det imponerende hvad danskerne har opnået de første 25 år. Bl.a.:

- De lever 5 år længere
- De har 2/3 mindre sandsynlighed for at dø i trafikken
- De bruger halvt så meget CO2
- PPP er over fordoblet

Godt nytår!

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.

The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).
