Forest fires get out of control when the brush between the trees is not tended to creating s fuel dump. The EU is hell bent on intensive farming and preventing free grazing on grounds of swine flu and bird flu. Those animals in barns and factories would clear forest no problem and the fires would be far less dangerous. But that's a crap narrative with current policy makers invested in their anti natural initiatives

enjoyed your recent newsletter. But not sure you have thought though your take on citizenship. Playing back the words to you a different way...It is objectively insane that an American woman can fly away from here on vacation while nine months pregnant, have a child on non-American soil, raise that child in a country that may not share American values, and still hand that child a future citizenship claim. Soooo, Is that an abuse of citizenship? or part of US soft power strategy and basically respect of a US citizen's freedom to give birth wherever they like, to raise a family wherever they like? Your original take just sounds awfully parochial island attitude. Unless you live there a citizen has no right to say anything that affects the US? No postal voters. Nobody should have two passports? What happened to self sovereign bitcoiners, free to do as they please without hurting others, still staunch Americans.
