Again with @NS_online miscommunication on where the buses should be standing for alternative transport from Dordrecht to Lage Zwaluwe. Many passengers stranded for more than 30 minutes for a bus that didn't even came to the offical stop. No communication or help from the NS.
@socialforging@compliantvc I live in the Netherlands, healthcare costs around 170 euros a month (basic one), and you will be lucky if you get an appointment within a week. 47k per year is just above minimium wage here and he is earning around 37 38k in netto.
When systems fail โ and behavior makes it worseโm sharing this experience to highlight a systemic issue, not to single out individuals. On several occasions at Brussels Airport, I was stopped because I share a name with someone flagged in international security systems.
the human cost becomes very real.Strong security and human dignity are not opposing goals โ they should reinforce each other. I believe this is a conversation worth having
Requesting an officerโs name for that purpose was questioned, and only a badge number was provided.I fully respect the need for border security. But when systems rely heavily on name-based matching, and when those affected are not treated with transparency or respect.
told I should โbe happyโ to be checked in the EU, and advised that if I wished to avoid this, I should travel from another country instead.When I asked how to file a complaint, the response felt dismissive and discouraging.
Each time, authorities confirmed that I am not the person sought โ yet the stops continue.What made these encounters particularly difficult was not only the repeated misidentification, but the way concerns were handled. I was met with remarks comparing my nationality to others,
For @NS_online
More than 1.5hour standing for train. Train passes by but dont stop and cancelled at last moment that we cannot take other train.
Then some conductor on social media says NS have to focus on other priorities than fixing the trains... such a shame
@elonmusk@alexandre what about other injustices? selective justice won't get you anywhere. they banned X that's why taking action against him. what about other crimes? you will not take any action because they didn't banned X
@pedrito1414@hotosm Hi Pete and @hotosm
I reached out to you in PM, I want to know if the team would be interested in online live interview about this project? I am excited to see this btw!!
It's why I am proud of colleagues at @hotosm for developing an open approach, tools and training to pragmatically support this practice.
Considering the ethics of humanitarian action is daunting, even if not your first time!
This helps a lot: https://t.co/96BQhVzNIe
