“Europe is a regulatory morass that is built on bureaucracy, and the layering and layering of rules that constrain economic activity.”

Scott Bessant, US Treasury Secretary

To which Europeans say:

Flint, Michigan
East Palestine, Ohio
Uniontown, Alabama

These places are global bywords for the poisoning of people and nature when you have no regulatory oversight of business and you prioritise ‘economic activity’ at all costs over health and safety.
