Lead pipes aren't so bad. It's lead as an ion rather than an element that's the problem. The lead that led to the dumbenising and collapse of Rome was actually lead acetate, which is sweeter than sugar. They added it to wine, believe it or not. Then you get the Pb2+ ions in your bloodstream and you start to watch Fox News.

Other things grow, but corn and soybeans are heavily subsidised (not to mention genetically modified).

Of course you aren't - you're a kingdom.

Don't forget the Russian and Ottoman empires shared a border, and had a war the same time France and Prussia had theirs. Turkey is Europe's defence against Russian expansionism via the Caucasus. Or at least it was - now it's those brilliant and tough motherfuckers in Georgia holding the fort.

Steady on. Erdoğan's Islamifying the place as a populist, undoing Atatürk's vision. Turkey belongs in the GCC rather than the EU if it's on its way to theocracy.

How do you reckon we make that happen? Any hope, or are they as powerful as billionaires?

This is an excellent and erudite comment. I'm curious what industry you work in. And did you make up “Don’t boil horse carcasses next to a daycare”? Because I'm fucking keeping it, funniest shit I've read all day. Keep it up mate
