People brace for impacts on land, water and wildlife after feds fire thousands over holiday weekend.
I saw this attitude growing up around evangelicals. "God gave man sovereign control of the earth to benefit us" kind of nonsense.
These assholes see a beautiful park like Yosemite and are disgusted that it's full of people relaxing and enjoying the scenery; because all they see is a forest of trees to cut down and a mountain range just waiting to be mined.
They don't care about the long term consequences at all because they're also convinced that Jesus is going to return any day now, and when he does the entire planet is getting incinerated as all physical reality of the universe is summarily disintegrated as god sends all the good people to heaven and the rest of us losers to hell for all eternity.
I don't know how many times I've heard the argument that NOT clear cutting the world's forests was actually bad stewardship of the planet that their god 'gave' us.

And unlike many others, Mr. Gates started the relationship after Mr. Epstein was convicted of sex crimes.
Bill Gates made his acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 when Epstein had been jailed for years for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

They were two of the richest men on Earth, meeting after Epstein had already been convicted for child sex trafficking, very intentionally scratching each other’s back and bolstering each other’s charitable endeavors. The relationship between them — and what compelled both to build one — should be seen not as a lapse in judgment but as an indictment of billionaire philanthropy itself.
There's plenty more out there if you look.
I just setup vaultwarden a few days ago for a small group, it's very simple.
Bill Gates became friends with Epstein AFTER he was convicted.
I have to nitpick slightly; Holland is not a country. Amsterdam is in the North Holland province of the Netherlands.
Source: I'm on the train from Amsterdam to my home in Nijmegen, Netherlands, which is not a part of either Holland.

My rule as DM is that players can freely expend their normally limited resources if it's done for role playing or fun and doesn't affect the story, combat, etc.
Druid wants to spend all evening as an owl in the rafters of the barn? Cool. Wizard wants to create a pocket dimension in which he can then use Wish to create the universe's best ganja and smoke it in peace? Awesome.
Artificer wants to ... wait, he wants to do WHAT with his pants? Okay fine, but we're cutting to black for the evening. And there may be assassins in the morning now.
Based on my sample size of the one Dominoes restaurant in Nijmegen (Netherlands): it is better outside of the US. Still not great, but better. The chicken shoarma pizza could possibly be considered 'good' if it were fresh, but that location only does delivery so...
I moved to the Netherlands, chosen almost entirely because the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty makes it ridiculously easy for an American to move to the Netherlands if you can run your own business / be self employed.
It's the easiest way from the US to Europe if you don't have a master's degree, a recent ancestor from Europe, or a boatload of cash.
Though having a decent amount of cash saved up is good, because boy howdy is it expensive to move..
