Russia probably suffered fewer casualties in Ukraine on the 4th of July, even though Russia is at war...
I was in NL not long ago for a conference, compared to the UK you guys are doing great! You produce a lot of the fresh food in Europe, and you get first dips to the LNG going into Rotterdam.
On a related note, in the conference some high up guy from Uniper was complaining how important natural gas is and how people in the government don't understand. If you replaced all cars in Germany with Teslas you could store enough one day worth of electricity, where as their LNG storage last hundreds of days, bla bla. Anyway now they are bankrupt lol:

President López Obrador said that the Statue of Liberty should be dismantled in the US if Assange is convicted of the WikiLeaks case.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on Monday that if Julian Assange is convicted in the United States for the WikiLeaks case, a campaign should be launched to dismantle the Statue of Liberty in New York because that country would have lost its identity.
In a press conference from the National Palace, the federal president affirmed that a conviction against the journalist would mean a loss of the symbolism that the effigy represents and considered that the media should call a large concentration to demand the activist’s pardon.
“A few days ago I released a New York Times report talking about the super cop, Genaro García Luna, and it is the New York Times, and the Financial Times does the same, and The Wall Street Journal, and we are all talking Of this Assange thing, isn’t it worthwhile for the New York Times to deal with the matter, El País and to convene a meeting of the most important press in the world to exhort, request, call, so that a pardon be granted to Assange?
“If they don’t do it, they will be tarnished and we will have to start the campaign that if they take him to the US, and sentence him to the maximum sentence and die in prison, they will have to dismantle the Statue of Liberty that the French delivered and that is in New York because it is no longer a symbol of freedom”, launched the head of the Mexican Republic.
