Ahh ... to be 15 again, and believe that someone like Al Gore actually trades, which would imply a mostly-fair exchange of things of actual value. That such a man actually cares for anything other than his own aggrandizement and money.
I miss that. Don't ever take a consulting gig at the EU headquarters. It may pay ... decent. I wouldn't say particularly well paid, but decent. It will also kill any remote ounce of hope you may harbor for politicians improving matters.
Here you find an indication of who the man really is[1]. Some tidbits:
(high school) He was the captain of the football team, threw discus for the track and field team, and participated in basketball, art, and government.
Was 25th in his class but got immediately accepted into harvard ...
Gore was an avid reader who fell in love with scientific and mathematical theories,[19] but he did not do well in science classes and avoided taking math.[18] During his first two years, his grades placed him in the lower one-fifth of his class. During his sophomore year, he reportedly spent much of his time watching television, shooting pool, and occasionally smoking marijuana
Gore earned an A on his thesis, "The Impact of Television on the Conduct of the Presidency, 1947–1969", and graduated with an A.B. cum laude in June 1969
Truly a man of science he is ... and his life mostly a great example of exactly how fair government is in the US (and sadly, I would agree that the life story of president Macron illustrates that the US is in fact pretty fair, or at least that it can be a lot worse than the above)
