Vanuit de stedelijke realiteit is dit een zeer slechte zaak. Echt waar. Verlaag de loonkosten voor iedereen, en ondernemers zullen vanzelf meer tewerkstelling creëren en sneller mensen kansen geven.
Maar flexi pakt jobs in, juist voor de meest kwetsbaren.
Wat met de Coefficient bij de vrouwen @Coefficient_BE ? Gezien zowel OHL women als RSCA Women een mooi parcours aan het spelen zijn ben ik hier ook wel benieuwd naar !
Today, the world marks Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day.
This map offers a powerful visual comparison: it shows the vast areas once home to thriving Armenian communities and how that presence has now been drastically reduced.
Rwanda verbiedt de verkoop van motor- en bromfietsen op benzine, die nu 55% van alle voertuigen in het Afrikaanse land uitmaken, en laat enkel nog elektrische toe.

Killer kitties: a reminder that cats play a major role in wiping out wildlife. How?
By killing literally *billions* of native animals every year, driving numerous extinctions. 🌍
Cats are NOT 'part of nature'. If you must have one, keep it indoors.

Today the climate meeting #COP29 starts in Baku. During Cop, the picture of Azerbaijan reported by the media will be a whitewashed and greenwashed version that the regime is desperate to portray. But make no mistake – it is a repressive state accused of ethnic cleansing.
The problem with liberalism is that it rests on a fundamental contradiction that cannot be resolved. It will always fail, it will always collapse, and this explains everything about our current moment.
Liberals try to hold two commitments at once: on the one hand, they are firmly committed to capitalism; on the other, they express support for principles like human rights, democracy, equality, freedom of speech, environment and the rule of law. This duality is the core of liberalism.
But there's a problem. Capital accumulation requires cheapening labour and nature. This eventually comes into direct conflict with principles like rights and equality. And whenever this conflict appears, the liberal ruling class sides with capital, abandons their lofty principles, and throws workers and nature under the bus. Every. Single. Time.
This results in flagrant displays of hypocrisy. They run on nice-sounding platforms but end up either betraying their promises or actively working against their stated values. They'll slash public services, bail out banks, imprison journalists, beat up students, expand fracking, coup democratically elected leaders in the global South, bomb liberation movements, fund a genocide - they'll even trash international law itself - anything that's needed to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation.
At most, they may try to negotiate mediocre compromises, a few social policies here and there - some abortion rights, a tiny increase in the minimum wage - but nothing that might pose any serious threat to capital accumulation. Thus the soul-crushing slowness of liberal incrementalism. Ultimately they are unwilling to take any of the obvious steps that would actually resolve our urgent social and ecological crises.
This is why nobody trusts liberal politicians. This is why they come across as so fantastically insincere, and even sneering. This is why they feel so spineless and *empty*.
The center cannot hold. Liberalism will always collapse, inevitably handing power to fascists, and this is not acceptable. There is only one way to overcome this deadly impasse, and that is to mobilize a socialist alternative. A political movement that can unite the working-classes, overcome capitalism, deliver real economic democracy, and enable us to achieve rapid progress toward social and ecological goals.
De 4 miljard die salariswagens kosten, daar horen we niets over bij de onderhandelingen. Ondertussen: 'Treintickets vanaf 1 februari duurder'. Verminder de steun aan salariswagens, investeer in openbaar vervoer!
