| The first image is telling: A glass building in front of a white hard-floor plaza with just one small tree for shade Nothing specific to the European commission though, we just don't hate mainstream architects enough |

| It's not exactly the Council of Elrond. It's appropriate for the design to be closer to Barad-dûr than Rivendell. |

| ▲ | ars an hour ago | parent [-] | | Thousands of people died in the EU over this heat, and you think it's American that isn't doing well? "more than 1300 excess deaths have been recorded since 21 June linked to the extreme heat in Europe" "There were approximately 489,000 heat-related deaths annually between 2000 and 2019, according to modeled estimates." https://wmo.int/media/news/record-breaking-heat-spreads-thro... | | |
| ▲ | tavavex 21 minutes ago | parent [-] | | What? Did the EU cause the heat wave? This thread is clearly about politics, and the parent claims that Americans complain about the EU and its politics because their own have gone completely off the rails. Disparaging the EU over a crazy heat wave is like criticizing a country because it has had a major natural disaster recently. | | |
| ▲ | ars 10 minutes ago | parent [-] | | The EU caused the deaths, not the heat. People have been dying from heat in the EU for decades now, and the EU has done ........ nothing (well other than declare superiority to the US). More people die from heat each year in the EU than from guns in the US. Which topic gets more attention? |

| It would burn less, if not all these abstract architects would sit in old art nouveau buildings near a park, with the AC tastefully hidden in the backyard - and there they sit on the MAC, shitting out these etched waver under the ERM buildings and cities for the rest of us to be miserable in. |
