Americans did it for four hours.

But on the other side, there is no future perspective.

And this is why people are becoming so anxious.

And this is why you cannot project your life.

And I don't believe this.

Deficit of future is a huge problem for democracy because...

If you don't believe in future, democracy cannot function because democracy is also the art of postponing, of timing certain things in the future.

And I think America is going to need... I only hope that Europeans are not going to do the dishes again.
