I mean, both nations rely on desalination for a stable water supply. There are many unnecessary uses of fossil fuels, but guaranteeing a stable water supply sure isn’t one of them.

It’s not reasonable to expect countries to forego stability of water supply for the sake of using a bit fewer fossil fuels.

you understand that the contract had multiple phases and at the end of each of these phases it had an opt out clause where we would pay them for work done. this is what happened, the french knew it could happen and knew it might happened.

this is not the fuck up, the fuck up is telling them over text msg lmao.

Doesn't seem great for the lower classes.

"In India, the share of the national income of the bottom 50% has decreased by around 40% since 1980 (Figure 7). In contrast, the share of the national income of the top 10% has increased by around 80% (Figure 8) and the share of the top 1% has increased by around 180% since 1980 (Figure 9). "

You ever see the another American see the difference in how other countries treat identity and cause a culture shock that can seen on a richter scale?

I can imagine an American showing his "23 and me" results saying he is proud to be 90% German and Germans looking in horror thinking he is some kind of race purist because other cultures care about cultural knowledge and language skills to call yourself something instead of genetics.

You see this talked about a lot on indigenous and Mexico subs with American expats, but I wonder if European countries have the same problem.
