I am one but never alone

[Lidewij de Vos @lidewij_devos]

Al 25 jaar draaien Nederlandse kabinetten in dezelfde cirkel en houden zo de stikstofimpasse in stand.

De uitweg is glashelder: de kritische depositiewaarden moeten uit wet én vergunningverlening. Dat dat niet gebeurt, is diep triest.

FVD blijft pal achter onze boeren staan.

Animal Farm by George Orwell, in short:

1. Old Major, the fattest pig on the farm, delivers a sermon about "liberation." He has never missed a meal in his life – but he is the most envious of the Man – the producer, the entrepreneur…

2. “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy” – the ideology is manufactured from the start, designed not to free the animals but to direct their resentment away from the pigs and toward a useful target. Every revolution needs an enemy. The pigs chose the farmer.

3. The revolution’s commandments were never a constitution. They were a management tool – sacred enough to motivate, vague enough to rewrite, and controlled from the beginning by the only ones who could read – the pigs.

4. Boxer the horse, the most honest creature on the farm, decent, loyal yet naive, totally devoted, responds to every setback with the same answer: “I will work harder!” He means it completely. He works himself half to death. It is the most heartbreaking sentence in the book – because the new system is perfectly designed to absorb exactly that kind of devotion and give nothing back.
When he finally collapses from exhaustion, he is sold to the knacker. For cash. The pigs buy more whisky with the proceeds.
The other animals are told he died in a hospital receiving the best care. The most useful animal on the farm is the one who never once suspects he is the product.

5. The commandments get rewritten at night not because power corrupted the revolution – the rewriting was always the plan. Language was the weapon from the first speech Old Major ever gave.

6. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” – this is not the system’s failure. It is the system’s true face, finally visible once the animals are too exhausted and confused to object.

7. Orwell’s message: the lie came first. And the "liberation" it promised delivered something far worse than what came before – because the fattest pig was merely selfish at the start, but by the end is selfish and fluent in the language of "justice." He took all the eggs. He took everything. And made the hens thank him for it.
The fattest pig knew what he was doing all along…

23 years ago, we set out to prove that electric cars could be great – not just great electric cars, but the best cars overall.

We’ve gone from one electric sports car to 
– Over 9 million vehicles on the road

– Model Y becoming the world’s best-selling car of any kind only 3 years after first deliveries  

– 5 Gigafactories & other manufacturing sites across 3 continents

– The largest & most reliable fast charging network w/ over 80,000 Superchargers globally 

– Energy generation & storage systems helping power homes & grids (over 1 million Powerwalls installed, 70+ GWh of industrial energy storage operating globally across 2,200+ projects)

Today, we’re bringing AI into the real world with autonomy @Tesla_AI and robotics @Tesla_Optimus. 

Tesla is only getting started – a world of amazing abundance awaits

Ik vroeg Laura Bromet (PRO) naar een onderbouwing voor haar bewering dat het slecht gaat met onze natuur en om een reactie op het feit dat uit overheidsgegevens blijkt dat ruim 80% van ons Natura 2000-oppervlak in goede tot uitstekende staat verkeert.

Neuralink has solved through-dura electrode implantation!

This is a very big deal, as it greatly improves the safety and ease of interfacing with the brain.

@vikingErik69 @TeslaBoomerMama I think it has more to do with the 4th of July, the IRS, the Fed, and the sovereign wealth fund.

XMoney is going to disrupt the fragile banking system. It’s much more than a convenient way to pay for things. It’s a shift from credit to debit, and debt to equity.

PERÚ SALE DEL SOCIALISMO

Felicito a @KeikoFujimori por su histórica victoria en Perú. El pueblo peruano se suma a Colombia y ha enviado un mensaje claro: la región quiere volver al camino de la libertad y la seguridad.

Los peruanos rechazaron la debacle comunista que planteaba Roberto Sánchez y le dijeron nunca más al socialismo totalitario.

La libertad avanza en toda América Latina y ya no hay vuelta atrás.

VIVA LA LIBERTAD CARAJO...!!!

Er is geen boer die zegt: “Trek die pleister er maar af.” Dat is wat bestuurders u willen doen geloven. Welke boer zegt: “Duw me maar ravijn in, dan heb ik tenminste duidelijkheid.” NIEMAND. Geloof dit niet mensen. Boeren willen boeren en een toekomst. Geen vernietiging #stikstof
