The EU is a fucked empire run by shadowy men behind closed doors who might care about the macro but my life and yours is in the micro.
Yes, it's Byzantine, I'll give you that. Thing is, I could tell you quite a bit about the people in the EU who deal with the kinds of policies that affect the industry I write about. They're only 'shadowy' because the mainstream media here is so disinterested in explaining to anyone anything at all about how it works and who is involved. And they're necessarily macro because they're only allowed to be involved in stuff that has effects across borders - the principle of subsidiarity means that anything that doesn't require cross-border coordination should be done at the national level (which is a principle intended to keep decision-making as local as possible).
Hey ho. I'm just sad at the situation, no criticism of you personally.

I actually did. And I'm not buying this total bullshit about immigration and border control. For me, the debate is about our right to democratic process.
