https://finance.yahoo.com/news/only-6-people-showed-eu-121725348.html The EU commission has tried and failed to be “down with the kids.” The commission’s foreign aid department threw a virtual “gala” on Tuesday night, having spent €387,000 (about $400,000) on developing their metaverse platform, in an attempt to attract the interest of young people. Only six showed up. According to one of the only attendees, Devex correspondent Vince Chadwick, it was an immediate flop and he was the only one left after “several bemused chats” with the "roughly five other humans" who briefly joined.
Great way to squander money. Imagine working for years to pay $400k in taxes for all of it just to be wasted. The disconnect between taxpayers and politicians is unbelievable.
