Come on bruv, they even literally say it's Israeli military
Yes, everything I am saying here is based on high social mobility, high median net wealth and high minimum wage. I like my capitalism in the hands of many.
1 FTE should always allow someone to save up a good amount of money. The minister in Flemish parlement I voted for is investing in social housing now. Relieving pressure on renters from private options. I do want both public and private options, government doesn't need monopoly like in Singapore.
i view these things as trampolines, not as crutches.
Like at my work, newbie comes from a home where neither parent could work. Father is blind/deaf and mother takes care of him. Idk how they did it, but they own a house. I'm completely fine with that, I prefer to work than to be blind/deaf, by a lot.
But I've also been talking to an older guy who has no money at all, 57 years old, lives in social housing and didn't work for more than 5 years because "his knees hurt". Not a fan of him. His daughter starts life with the basic package because he never really tried.
But I'm very happy that his daughter has all the opportunity. She's educated and can choose her own path. (She can't move out until his pension or he will lose a lot of his monthly income).
We have an aging population, so it's fine I guess. Money to raise a kid.
Like I'm a fan of immigration not for the first generation but the second generation. That's the real investment. Even though nowadays first gen immigrants will be quite better, as education in the world has been drastically improving.
What our prime minister did first, was limit unemployment benefits to 2 years and increase the unemployment benefits in the first year. That's good. It needs to be insurance, not an early retirement alongside your other passive incomes.
I don't want people to hate rich people, I want them to become rich. I want them to feel good in the country they grew up with. View people as equals socially.
Personally I can't imagine not growing as a person when working 38 hours a week. If you don't learn anything, please change job. They are wasting your time.
But my wife has that choice. She's working part time as cleaner while learning Dutch. Now she's pregnant and for the time being she will just continue working part time as cleaner. It's nearby our home so it's very convenient. She pays basically no taxes, it's pretty good for us financially. She has a law degree from her country of origin, so she can likely just get a career option if she so wishes. But she prefers to focus on being a mom. Her choice. We'll get 250 euros per month for the kid. I'll pay 50 euros fewer taxes every month. We'll get a free stroller and car seat. Giving birth will be 300 euros. They'll give us 1200 euros at birth.
Personally I cannot understand the desire to not grow qualifications. Learning things is fun. It's very boring to go week in week out without learning anything.
But yes there are people that don't care. My wife can choose what she prefers. Both are adequate options. Spending more time with our kid is valuable. Honestly I think our aging population is because people work too much. My grandmothers didn't work, my mom worked part time. My wife's sisters and mom don't work.
So it's definitely a complex thing.
I don't think someone needs a job in order to learn things either. But it's quite useful. I hope she gets an opportunity for a different job that also is easily manageable with a family while also learning more things.
The good thing about cleaning is that she gets a good workout out of it. 4 hours per week day, it's social. She sees dogs etc. People are nice. (Not the old ones that can't speak English and are more of the funny old racist generation)
Basically, a country needs to be designed in such a way that when you're poor at age 57, it's your own choice.
What would it take for the EU to sanction Israel.
Real politics. Who would be the new gained allies and who would be the lost allies.
Since ties with USA (biggest funder of Israel) are weakening and we look for new partners, then we can sanction Israel.
All the countries with Muslims will cheer for that. That's for sure.
That's everyone's reaction. Until more context. Basically 2 overly drunk fucks that met up in the city and had sex. One is a male student and the other is a female student. Asked consent, was given. But drunk people can't give consent.
The girl was making advances on the guy by kissing him. Nobody would open the door for her, so she had no place to sleep. She slept at the stranger's place.
They had consented sex. But legally a woman can't give consented sex when drunk.
That the guy is drunk is of no importance legally.
So yeah, sentenced guilty. But in practice it's just bullshit. So, no punishment.
The guy's life is ruined. Probably will suicide.
Shit happens bruv
Idc either way. Male gynaecologists shouldn't exist.
I'm just going to hold my hands over my ears and act like I can't read context and agree with everyone that calls him the literal devil. Grab a pitchfork and a torch and push him to the end of a cliff.
In truth I don't care. Don't be drunk in public ya fucking morons.
I can only vote on which Belgian I want to represent me in the EU as far as I'm aware
Hahahaha this triggers me, ah damn.
Yes, I don't like the term white/black/yellow/brown.
I use geography. I say European, west African, south east Asian, ...
It's a little less retarded than calling Europeans white and pale Asians yellow
Just so you fucking know, the so called n word Americans are so afraid of.. MEANS BLACK
Holy moly the stupidity of people. And you think I'm the stupid one. That triggers me
Yes. Stop being poor, the tools are available.
Tax paid education. Tax paid healthcare. Unemployment benefits. Sick pay. Social housing. Good economy. Train is paid by the employer. E-bike leasing paid by your taxes. Child benefits. Daycare subsidies. High minimum wage. Difficult to get fired. Notice period when fired. Can't get fired when pregnant. Maternity leave. You can buy a social house from the government if you agree to live there for 20 years. Wages indexed to inflation. During economic crisis, the companies are pretty much forced to endure it temporarily instead of laying off workers temporarily. Buying first house is 3% tax while buying the 2nd+ house is 12% tax. During energy crisis, people got helped with energy bills. It's well funded to teach people Dutch for free, the VDAB areas look like it's for royalty, ...
Just stop being poor
