I think it's still possible for EU to regulate this and protect workers here. Not in US though.

The worst part is that it usually follows well known cycle of:

  • project is estimated at $10b, government assigns $10b
  • private companies spend it on consultants and analysis, little gets built
  • government agrees to invest another $5b but requires cuts to the initial scope
  • with reduced scope projected passengers numbers drop, project is less attractive
  • repeat until cost is 1000% of the initial estimate and usefulness is 0. cancel project

Yes and no. Yes, normally you do have a series of institutions overseeing different parts of the government and making sure it acts within the laws but in USA this system is simply broken. In normal countries constitution is the ultimate guarantee and the judiciary 'check's if laws are in accordance with it. The judiciary functions as a independent branch with judges being selected by other judges to the most important roles. In USA supreme court judges are directly selected by the president which totally invalidates the entire system. At the same time, in every other country, it's assumed that party with the majority in the parliament simply has the mandate to govern and (surprise) does govern. They use this majority to do reforms and pass laws. In USA not only the system is designed in a way that does not let the party with majority support actually control the government (electoral college, the senate, election cycle), they also came up with fictional mechanisms to further weaken the ruling party (filibuster). As a result the 'checks and balances' make sure that no true reforms are possible while weakening the judicial oversight and constitutional rights. Worst system you could think of.

They are threatening to fix a problem no other civilised country has? How about actually fixing it? Right, that would be "doing something", kryptonite of every american politician.

They probably have nothing interesting to say anyway. After a year or two all the scientists will be like "I fucking know you like krill, whale. Shut the fuck up about the krill already".
