Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez appeared with an open collar at a press conference to personally model his proposed solution for Europes's looming gas crisis.

Spain has worked to limit climate control usage in the private sector before and encourages remote work where possible. Last month, Spain passed a relief package worth USD$9.2 billion that included electricity tax cuts and approximately USD$200 for low-income individuals.

Sounds just like the Carter years all over again, right? I suppose it’s a natural human reaction to any of life’s challenges. Some do less with less. Others look for ways to make more. Everyone gets a slice of an ever shrinking pie versus making more pies.

“He explained that wearing open collars would make white-collar work more comfortable, and lead to reduced air conditioning usage. “This way, we can all save energy.””

Do these A-Holes realize how pathetic they sound when making an idiotic statement like that! Do they realize what an ass they make of themselves with these comments!

The “World leaders” in the so-called “Free Word” are the absolute worst crop of pathetic idiots that have ever been produced.

He needs to top that look off with a WPN button. Whip Putin Now buttons are as effective as anything else the EU is doing.

I was wondering when they were going to start discussing one of the WEF PLANKS, no air conditioning. It’s been part of the agenda from day one. Look at the pdf from the original Agenda 2021 document and the carryover to Agenda 2030.

I think it was Dan Rather of all people who said that before air conditioning, Washington DC shut down during the summer.

Maybe everyone can wear speedos to the office.

And keep the air in your automobile tires at the correct level!!!

That will save one million barrels of oil per day if I remember what the politicians said several years ago when one or the other of them were getting elected.
