You'll probably find that spoon-fed trust fund babies now occupy a high percentage of senior positions within the EU.

'Famous' in Brit tabloids - well done.  Also, if her time as Defense Minister wasn't brilliant (and you can surely tell me why without looking it up as you're clearly quite knowledgeable about her career) then why does that preclude her from other jobs?

 

I'm happy with my interpretation of the term "silver spoon". 

 

I didn't mention Brit tabloids. Are you saying that her failures in the German government should be overlooked when selecting someone for the top job in the EU?

I'm afraid you're right regarding big cities, like my ex home, LA.

 

 

But I don't believe the whole country is bad. There are may wonderful, well run cities and places. US is like 30 different countries.
