@grumpyinnovator deliberately misleading

"Dus het ging om gedrag?!"

Burgemeester Halsema vertelt aan de Parlementaire Enquête Commissie dat het mondkapje geen medische interventie was, maar een gedragsinterventie. Om bij mensen irrationele angst op te wekken.

"Dus gedrag was dit" mompelt de interviewer met opengesperde ogen, die tot dan toe dacht dat het kapje jou en je oma beschermt.

Want die leugen werd verspreid.

Angst voor een medemens moest echter worden opgewekt. Angst die massaal omsloeg in haat en agressie. Leugens. Om mensen bang te maken.

Ze zegt het alsof het de normaalse zaak van de wereld is.

Maar dat is het niet.

Je mag mensen niet tegen hun wil, en zonder hen vooraf eerlijk te informeren, onderwerpen aan een onwetenschappelijke gedragspsychologische interventie die gericht is op verdeeldheid, angst en haat, en die zo vreselijk veel schade aanricht.

Psychologisch, sociologisch en fysiek!

Dit zou reden moeten zijn om direkt alle betrokkenen ter verantwoording te roepen.

@ClaudioVirili Ha ha, you remembered! Seems like some people are easily triggered. Still glad I met you in real life!

Really pleased to get a full tank of petrol for £60 today...

Granted it was for the lawnmower but I'm trying to keep positive...

As promised, the climate science obliteration has arrived TODAY.

The IPCC's central claims have now been torn apart.

The oceans are not “warming” let alone “boiling.” That claim is false.

The claimed Earth Energy Imbalance is false. It's no different from zero.

Full demolition:

IPCC's Earth Energy Imbalance Assessment is Based on Physically Invalid Argo-Float-Based Estimates of Global Ocean Heat Content

@ron_ecomm Like dealing with Chinese vs other suppliers. Big difference in willingness to do business. Feels like a struggle with some local companies

Taxing the Bezzle - Dutch Style
https://t.co/HmnEGfh0DZ

The Netherlands just passed a catastrophic tax experiment -
36% annual tax on UNREALIZED gains (effective 2028)

Key problems:
• Pay cash on paper gains
• Losses aren't refunded
• Kills long-term investing
• Two-tier system
• Tax on financial illiteracy
Endgame: Rich leave. Revenue disappoints. Everyone loses.

@PolemicTMM @Gerald_Ashley @xGeorgeCooper @DMcWilliams_UK As a Dutch guy - looking forward to that

Another post that's spot on.

Morals Abhor an economic vacuum

https://t.co/sb0x5QnaHB

When growth stalls, nothing new appears. Old ideas surface.
Redistribution replaces expansion.
Management replaces ambition.
Decline gets rebranded as virtue.

In stagnation, morals expand to fill the economic vacuum.

@PolemicTMM another great piece!

@PolemicTMM True about the economics. And then there's seasons..But have to say, taste is different too. So more and more convinced the units can not be compared, some even impossible to buy.
But that's enough about food ;-) Original article is interesting enough without

Modern Monopoly Theory. (MMT)
20 new rules

Once we are told that tariffs can be justified by land sitting in the "wrong" hands and that land should be taxed to optimise its utility, it makes sense to look at the rules of Monopoly and update them.

@GuruAnaerobic "be happy they are helping you see what’s possible" - exactly that. More skilled people helped me improve my MTB and boxing skills.
Often just by showing what's possible way before I was able to do it.
But gives you something to aim for. Even at 52
