Obviously, the US has lots and lots of stupid things. The difference is that you typically don't hear "Oh we need to make slow progress on making voting easier, because the EU will retaliate". That would be absurd. We recogni

No one cares about a politician's tweets. The issue being discussed is important notices from Government agencies that affect people's lives immediately, that shouldn't be behind a login wall. Think train service cancellation

Maybe consider that "Why is everyone saying screens are bad? It's how you use them " "Oh by the way I control them quite tightly in my own house." is quite contradictory and not making any particular point? It&#x27
