Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

You too? (none / 0)
Perhaps we know the same expats, non?

And that's the crux of it, of course. Decoupling the humanitarian machine instantaneously means starvation - but not for the bastards with the gold teeth and in their palaces who keep plying the milk machine. Always the innocent first, assemble in lines of three.

But should "we" instead hand them the brilliant survival plan for the future? Isn't that similarly wrong as also here the tickling of motivation is completely absent? Part of the reason why products in communist countries were crappy because no one was motivated enough to do it right themselves...

What a fix.

Re: You too? (4.00 / 2)
Well, I agree that we cannot "hand them the plan." But there are things we can do:

a) Stop handing them the arsenic, as it were.

b) Set a good example, by implementing sensible rather than wingnut policies here (and indeed stop promoting wingnut ones through the IMF etc.)

c) Hand them the ideas, we are a think tank after all. I'd like EuroTrib to one day be the seed of AfricaTrib!
