Can you please make your substantive points without snark? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It looks like you've got an important and relevant point there but if you lead with snark, you'll probably just provoke more flamewar and make the thread more predictable.

A better version of this comment would drop the first couple words and then add information to explain what you're talking about and/or how you know it.

These imports are in part due to Macron's exceptionally foolish decision to close the Fessenheim nuclear reactor in northeast France (near German border). The reactor had had all the needed upgrades and could have kept working for many years, but instead Macron decided to follow through on an old campaign promise of his universally reviled predecessor.
