In 2017, a group of 177 scientists in the Netherlands signed an open letter urging the government to stop including biofuels from food crops on the EU's sustainable development agenda. The reason is that when you take into account the area required to grow these crops, as well as handle and transport the crops, they emit on average 1.8 times more CO2 than fossil fuels. Dutch scientists also noted that crop biofuels increase the demand for vegetable oil and food crops, as well as destroy biodiversity.

The European Union remains, in fact, a political structure based on a community of interests, often technological: coal, steel and the atom 60 years ago, Airbus and Galileo then, today hydrogen, batteries and, of course, vaccines ..

Socialism completely denies the entire old order of things with its law and representation, with its church and court, with its civil and criminal code - it completely denies, just as the Christians of the first centuries denied the Roman world. Such a denial is not a whim of a sick imagination, not a personal cry of a person offended by society, but a death sentence to him, a presentiment of the end, the consciousness of a disease that leads the decrepit world to death and to rebirth in other forms. The modern state structure will fall under the protest of socialism; his strength is exhausted; what it could give, it gave; now it ... is unable to develop further, nor to stop development; it has nothing to say or do, and it has reduced all activity to conservatism, to defend its place.

Who are these policemen? - asked Selli.
Bandits! - Spike said with irritation.
Honestly, bandits! Indeed, the duty of the police is to protect the population from robbers, in reality, they only protect the rich. And the rich are the real robbers. They only rob us, hiding behind the laws that they themselves come up with. And what, tell me, the difference, according to the law, I will be robbed or not according to the law? I do not care!
It's really strange here! - said Coggy.
Why do you obey the police and these other ... as you call them, the rich?
Try not to obey, when they have everything in their hands: land, factories, money, and, in addition, weapons!
If I try to do this the police will grab me and put me in jail.
