    it’s so annoying when news outlets refer to the european commission as “brussels”

    can’t tell by the headline if they’re talking about belgium or the european commission

      I find it infuriating for a different reason. The EU as a democratic organization, consisting of 27 member states, calling it “Brussels”, undermines the entire democratic process.

    In Germany the government could order a temporary general speed limit on the Autbahn. Lower taxes on fuel = lower speeds for everyone to save gas.
