I don’t think this is true, although maybe in some places.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟

Netanyahu is a terrible human being but an amazing politician.

In Israel all governments are coalition governments, and as Netanyahu got less and less mainstream support he tacked further and further to the right, joining with crazy religious fundamentalists because that was the only way to stay in power.

My understanding is that very shortly after losing power he will end up in court on corruption charges, and maybe die in prison. Not because of crimes against humanity, but for crimes against Israel.
