@Simonehup @cnv @2eKamertweets Dat denk ik eerlijk gezegd niet!

@Zuster_Dre @cnv @2eKamertweets maar misschien komt het ook wel dat niemand meer fulltime werkt ook als er geen kinderen zijn

Als mensen hier gedurende 26 weken niet meer van rond kunnen komen dan geldt datzelfde voor mensen met een Wia uitkering maar dan erger want langdurig Probleem niet loskoppelen voor een “easy win’ svp @CNV @2eKamertweets

@BoonAdriana @cnv @2eKamertweets Ja, ouderschapsverlof wordt meestal ook niet aaneengesloten opgenomen maar verdeeld over meerdere jaren. Daarom is de focus daarop in deze hele discussie nogal “bijzonder” Overigens zou ouderschapsverlof financieel veel toegankelijker gemaakt moeten worden voor lage inkomens

@Zuster_Dre @cnv @2eKamertweets Bij max dagloon. En verschil is toch ook dat arbeidskorting bij ouderschapsverlof nog wel geldt, want elders in het jaar wordt wel gewerkt?

Let’s slow down… listen more, judge less, and lift each other up. The world needs more kindness right now. 🤎

- Meer dan 10.000 veteranen verloren sinds mei 2025 hun huis nadat het ministerie van Veteranenzaken een hulpprogramma schrapte, terwijl nog eens 90.000 risico lopen op gedwongen verkoop, meldt NPR.

Ze staan in de rij. Werkgevers die iemand aannemen die al een jaar ziek is. In welke wereld leven deze clowns?

@LawPension Rare definitie van solidariteit houden deze mensen er op na🤷🏻‍♀️

Al die collega’s van me, ze wisten van niks en keken me glazig aan toen ik al 3 jaar geleden hier op wees. Ik heb er zelfs nog een bericht op intranet aan gewijd. Niemand sloeg erop aan. “Maar dat is toch solidariteit Hans”.

Lees dit schrijnde verhaal van 1 van de vele deelnemers die compensatie mislopen en het niet eens weten… Tot ze aan de beurt zijn. Probleem echter al jaren bekend en zoals met alle weeffouten in die wet: onder het tapijt geschoven. AFM? DNB?

It is now illegal for most American farmers to do what farmers have done for 10,000 years. Save seeds from their harvest to plant next season. Four corporations control over 60% of global seed sales. Bayer-Monsanto. Corteva. Syngenta-ChemChina. BASF. Over 80% of all corn and more than 90% of all soybeans planted in the United States use patented biotech seeds. Farmers sign licensing agreements that prohibit saving, replanting, or sharing seeds. Every season requires a new purchase. Seed prices have increased over 300% since 1995. In the 1990s, most farmers saved a portion of their harvest to plant the following year. Seed companies genetically engineered crops to be resistant to specific herbicides, most notably Monsanto's Roundup Ready system. The seeds worked. Yields improved. Farmers adopted them rapidly. Then the patents locked in. Monsanto deployed a team of private investigators to audit farms suspected of replanting patented seeds. They filed over 150 lawsuits against American farmers. Settlements and judgments totaled over $23 million. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Bowman v. Monsanto (2013) that patent protections extend to self-replicating technologies including seeds. Farmers who had planted one crop with patented seeds could not legally replant the offspring of those seeds. The biology of reproduction itself was patented. Today, the four largest seed companies spend more on intellectual property enforcement and patent filings than many of them spend on R&D for new crop varieties. The consolidation of the seed industry is one of the least discussed monopoly structures in the global economy. Corteva (CTVA) was spun off from DowDuPont in 2019 as a pure-play agricultural sciences company. They control roughly 20% of the global corn seed market and are the largest seed company in the Western hemisphere. Revenue exceeded $17 billion. Operating margins are expanding as they shift toward higher-value biotech seeds and crop protection products. The pricing power comes from the fact that once a farmer is in the Corteva seed ecosystem, switching costs are significant because crop protection products are designed to work with specific seed genetics. Deere & Company (DE) sits at the intersection of the seed monopoly and the equipment monopoly. Modern precision agriculture requires Deere's GPS-guided tractors and automated planters to work in concert with biotech seed prescriptions. The software layer that connects equipment to seed to data is becoming the most valuable part of the farm. Revenue exceeded $51 billion. The precision agriculture division is growing faster than the equipment division. For broader agricultural exposure, the Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) tracks a basket of agricultural commodity futures. When seed costs rise, crop production costs rise, which supports higher commodity prices. The farmers absorb the input cost increase. The commodity market passes it to consumers. The companies selling the seeds and the equipment capture margins on both sides. The seed monopoly is a toll booth on the global food supply. 8 billion people eat every day. Four companies control the genetics. I'm hosting a once in a lifetime webinar where I go over the exact things I know as a former banker and world class investor. 100% free to join.

“Het schrijnende is echter dat juist de mensen die compensatie het beste kunnen gebruiken, die kosten vaak niet kunnen dragen” @FNV ⁉️

What a beautiful voice ❤️ When I Fall in Love - Nat King Cole

Ik luisterde zojuist naar een playlist met oude nummers. Een van de nummers was "Welterusten mijnheer de president", uitgebracht in 1966. Inmiddels zijn we 60 jaar verder... De tekst van het nummer vind je hier. 👇

@CoachCaroline Wat een raar artikel🤷🏻‍♀️

#KLM-directeur @MarjanRintel heeft vorig jr bovenop haar salaris van 6 ton bijna een miljoen aan bonussen ontvangen, terwijl KLM flink moet bezuinigen. Hoe kun je dat met een schoon geweten doen, terwijl mensen onderaan de ladder moeten staken voor een fatsoenlijk loon?

🙏🇺🇸🙏 One helicopter pilot flew straight into enemy fire 22 times in a single day. On November 14 1965 Bruce Crandall led a daring mission at Landing Zone X-Ray in Vietnam. He wasn't just flying — he was carrying ammunition and evacuating more than 70 wounded soldiers. Other medevac units had refused the mission. His own helicopter was hit and damaged multiple times. Crandall had been drafted in 1953 during the Korean War, starting as an engineer before becoming an aviator. Before combat he mapped terrains in Alaska, Libya, and Latin America, honing skills that would save lives in Vietnam. As commander of Company A 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, he flew over 900 combat missions across two tours. For his actions at la Drang, he initially received the Distinguished Service Cross, later upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Crandall's words still resonate: "Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared." 🙏🇺🇸🙏

For anyone who missed this: In 2021, Pete Hegseth was blocked from Biden's inauguration because a fellow service member flagged him as a potential security threat. Now, he's leading "The Department of War." Comforting.🙄 politico.com/news/2024/11/1…

White people in Georgia lynched Mary Turner, a Black woman who was 8 months pregnant in 1918.

It will never cease to boggle my mind just how recent segregation was.

I was at a steakhouse in Dallas, eating alone at the bar. Next to me was a young guy in a military uniform. He was eating a baked potato and a side salad. Nothing else. He kept eyeing the steaks coming out of the kitchen, then looking at his wallet. I flagged the bartender. "Put his tab on mine," I whispered. "And send him the ribeye. Tell him it's a mistake from the kitchen." The bartender grinned. "You got it." Ten minutes later, the huge steak landed in front of the kid. "I didn't order this," he said, panicked. "I can't pay for this." "Kitchen messed up," the bartender lied perfectly. "Manager said to eat it or we have to trash it." The kid ate like he hadn't seen food in a week. When he finished, he asked for the check. "Covered," the bartender pointed at me. The kid turned to me. "Sir, I..." "Thank you for your service," I said. "Get home safe." He stood up, shook my hand, and walked out taller than he walked in. If you have more than you need, build a long table, not a higher fence. 🫡🇺🇸
