A Government that Works for Its People Is Not an Impossibility

I was speaking with a woman yesterday who has spent a lot of time in the Netherlands and says she still can’t believe how a country’s people and its government can work together so harmoniously and productively.  The distinction between the Dutch and the Americans, she says, is particularly pronounced when it comes to transportation; all European nations are well on their way to expelling fossil fuels from their society.

Yet EVs (and bicycles) are just one example of how governments and the populations they serve can work hand-in-hand.

As we see in the meme here, Finland cares for its children–even after they’re born, if you can imagine that.
