You die as a hero or live longer to become a villain. I guess its the latter.

Hero is a bit of a stretch, but at least they tended to gravitate towards policy that benefit and protect members overall and were difficult to wholly be captured by single corporate interests.

“Tries” being present tense, implies that they are actively attempting to do so.

phar@lemmy.ml on 05 Nov 2023 01:56 collapse

That would be “tried.”

It’s a blatant power-grab by the EU
