This is pointless cynical thinking.
No government institution is going to be 100% effective at what it does, but the EU has shown that as far as large organizations go, it is remarkably effective at pushing certain actions that it's member states cannot do.
- simfoo 5y agoI don't disagree, the past years have made me cynical about all big EU proposals :( But time and time again it has shown that proposals that actually would change things get watered down hard or shut down completely

Seems like all major governments are either corporate owned subsidiaries or absolute dictatorships committed to "profit" and "growth" at literally any cost, with little to no concern for how it affects the larger population of Earth.
