@Leopard24theWin Gets even more egregious considering they received around €1 bln from the EPF and are looking for even more funds now that Hungary has lifted its blockade.
@premierinspe De verhoudingen tussen het Westen en de rest van de wereld waren al fundamenteel scheef. Cortes veroverde het Aztekenrijk met 3000 man. Onze kolonisatie van Indonesië was een commerciële onderneming. Engeland in 1300 had een hoger BBP per hoofd dan het Ottomaanse Rijk in 1800.
@Haydi22_@Afrikaas_ Ik denk dat de hele discussie niet echt draait om wie je support maar dat voetbal wordt gebruikt om (een deels) mislukte integratie aan te stippen. Het is meer een bevestiging van een beeld dat al bestaat.
@Fallen_Zen@Oksii33 Wasn’t a donation, Poland got compensated through the European Peace Facility and is in the process of getting more funding from the EPF. It’s Western Europe that paid for it. It also wasn’t worth billions, most of it was outdated Soviet equipment, you got above market value.
@varuninvesting $Adyen, most of their growth is from existing customers, very high customer retention. Capital allocation has improved with smart takeovers and rumours of upcoming share buyback. I like their shift towards providing more services rather than focusing just on payments.
@pogolurex@AllFutbolMX You guys gotta let this go. It wasn't a penalty but we should have gotten one in the first half. It makes little sense complaining about a penalty that was given while completely ignoring one that should have been given but wasn't. https://t.co/OlF1lB5iDL
Today the Netherlands published its Defence Note 2026 which outlines its priorities for strengthening it defence capabilities. A 🧵 of what has been announced in terms of priorities and investments https://t.co/amzgr3mHbi
@FrisianFreedom_@De_belegger Zolang hyperscalers hun operationele cash flow blijven verbranden en in groeiende mate hun balans verzwakken met schulden gaat het feestje door. Of dat verandert hangt van de ROIC van hyperscalers af, of Anthropic en OpenAI winstgevend worden en of enterprises AI goed inzetten.
@MrMaitra Not sure a post about a Dutch fan is the best way to express this sentiment considering we drained a sea to built a new province, including two cities, in the last 50 years.
The TL;DR on 'freezing the rent' is that it
- Makes it so there's less housing available
- Increases the rent in unregulated units
- Pulls units off the rental market
- Lowers housing quality
- Reduces the rate of new construction
- Makes it harder for workers to get good jobs
@andrewroosbell@Noahpinion It is. The entire thing is a false dichotomy. Amsterdam has trains, trams and metro’s. You don’t need a bike to get around. Paris is another example of a city that increasingly has both.
In Argentina, rent freezes destroyed the housing market.
When Milei got rid of the price controls, supply rose by 300%, and rent prices decreased compared to inflation.
But communists are nothing if not absolute idiots who refuse to learn from history.
