  • ps. i’m talking about the Netherlands

    didn’t/doesn’t address housing shortage.

    The minister is doing the opposite because he doesn’t know market dynamics https://www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws/politiek/6dc70657-6081-480b-a2e4-7eddf8a17c37/huurwet-van-hugo-de-jonge-rijdt-meer-woningen-bouwen-volledig-in-de-wielen

    increases taxation as a means to get more income flow to the government This is normal and a good thing? I’m also not sure which taxes you’re referring to? Our taxes haven’t really changed much recently.

    The government shouldn’t be our babysitter. They’re increasing living restricitions and costs more and more.

    Inflation is being dealt with… Things are nearly back to normal levels of inflation. You can’t say that it’s not being addressed.

    Back to what? These days mom and dad both need to work for money to make ends meet. (and one of both can’t be home properly for the kids) That was different when i was a kid.

    spends crazy(milions and bilions) on S.D.G ideals

    and only for a possible 1.5degrees according to some model?! https://nos.nl/artikel/2472948-kabinet-trekt-28-miljard-uit-voor-120-klimaatmaatregelen-zal-af-en-toe-knellen

    • makes it impossible for farmers to meet (Co2 etc)regulations
      • and government buys them out…
      • and Schiphol etc buying that land for extra CO2 credit.

    Once again I need some sources on this, this sounds like something you heard and are repeating without taking the time to understand what was being talked about and now you’re trying to pass it off as fact.

    has crazy ‘sustainability’ demains, which makes international production business move elsewhere

    Not sure what you’re talking about here. Is this referring to businesses “offshoring” the production of goods? This has been happening for a long time and I hope that we can start bring more manufacturing back “onshore”

    increasing poverty. People requiring food-bank support is increasing, but because of increasingly harsh business environment the food-bank actually obtains less from industrie.

    Yes poverty is up, but not for the reasons you’re suggesting(unless you have some new data I haven’t seen). food inflation is going to be the new norm until the world gets the climate crisis under control. Our global agriculture system is not built to handle the rapidly changing climate we’ve created. droughts, floods and war are likely going to continue to cause price instability.

    The climate science isn’t settled to say it’s CO2 and/or Nitrogen etc. There’s documentary and books showing that there’s no actual source to claim it as facts. This books tries to find the actual basis for it but fails: https://www.amazon.nl/Niemand-Cockpit-stikstof-case-study/dp/9083271595

    droughts, floods and war are likely going to continue to cause price instability.

    Regarding droughts and floods in europe, maybe these privately subsidized parties are pulling the wrong strings…

    Regarding Price instability > How about US taking responsibility for the Nordstream pipeline bombing. Biden has said plainy that he would. Why is it not picked up?

    • many small/medium businesses are going bust because they can’t repay the corona-loan. (which many have warned is a slow death trap)

    This is also normal? Many economists believe that economic downswings every 7-15 years is good for an economy because it helps wipe out under preforming businesses. if a company took out 60k in loans, and after 4 years hasn’t been able to pay back the 40k they owe (20k was already forgiving), and also can’t find a bank to move that loan to, they are likely not running a very good business.

    I’m glad that we gave these businesses a lifeline during covid, but at some point they need to prove that they can adapt to the new market conditions. No one forced them to take these loans…

    Government imposed lockdowns without constent. (which afterwards were proven to be useless).That means owners were left without income, increasing debt and staff with similar insecurities. How is that a good thing? imo, the government should have forgiven them the money. i as a tax-payer rather give them my tax-money than all the money wasted on the 1.5degrees without any proof of actual effect.
