@jdceulaer @moeder8046 Dus X heeft 7j gestudeerd, werkt hard en heeft een stresserende job. Y studeerde niet en werkt aan de kassa.Door wat correcties is het nettoverschil tussen X en Y niet zo groot. Y krijgt kindergeld en X niet. Zoiets dan? Lijkt dit niet op communisme?

Games are an easy way to get kids more physically active & learning a variety of skills
They dont view it as exercise & learning when its part of play, because they are having fun
And their fun & learning is even more accelerated when they play with family
This is the power of family games nights.

@h_van_wilderode @AdamBlazowski Yes, a decision 20 years ago. No one should enforce such decision after strong review. But she didnt. She closed them and became CEO of WindEurope.
English

@AdamBlazowski It was not she but a former government that decided to close. Now there are still 2 functioning!

QatarEnergy CEO tells Reuters:
"WE MAY HAVE TO DECLARE FORCE MAJEURE ON LONG-TERM CONTRACTS FOR UP TO FIVE YEARS FOR LNG SUPPLIES TO ITALY, BELGIUM, KOREA AND CHINA"
Belgian Green exminister TvdS, who killed several nuclear reactors and signed new gas contract with Qatar:
"..."

Gdansk, Poland 🇵🇱 English

@AdamBlazowski @timconinx Oh and became the ceo of WindEurope. No joke.
English

@PeterKE1965 @AdamBlazowski Fuck off with that nonsense. She had every chance to not put this OLD decision trough. She made the decision to close them, even when everyone with a normal iq saw that the idea was BS. She made an insane mistake, period.
English

@AdamBlazowski No she didn't Adam. That decision was made many years before she was in office. By the same people that want them back now, because Tchernobyl and Fukushima never happened.

@BetterCallMedhi It's insane that the guy who closed nuclear plants now asks the people to work harder..
English

I spent time in Shenzhen last year and when I saw Merz come back from China saying Germans need to work more I immediately knew what broke his brain because I lived the exact same cognitive shock
my first week in Huaqiangbei I burned through 4 prototype iterations of a motor controller board for less than a thousand bucks total, back home a friend was working on something similar and spent over 12 thousand for a single revision that took almost two months to arrive
when you live that contrast in your own hands with your own project something permanently shifts in how you see the world and it goes way deeper than speed & cost
what Shenzhen actually built is a collective learning organism, imagine 20 PCB fabs 15 injection mold shops 30 component distributors and a hundred firmware freelancers all within a 2km radius, looks insanely redundant from the outside until you realize redundancy is actually information density in disguise
I watched this firsthand with an injection mold supplier I was working with, this guy had seen a hundred founders iterate similar thermal designs over 6 months so he proactively modified his tooling before I even opened my mouth, he knew what I needed before I knew what I needed, the intelligence lives in the relationships between the nodes and it compounds daily
the west thinks about manufacturing as a cost center you optimize by centralizing…
China accidentally built a distributed neural network of manufacturing intelligence where knowledge diffuses horizontally across thousands of agents faster than any single western company can process internally
so when Merz comes back and says we need to work a bit more I think he saw the problem but COMPLETELY misdiagnosed the solution, telling Germans to work harder is like telling a horse to gallop faster when the other side built a combustion engine
the gap is ARCHITECTURAL
it’s ecosystem density, you need a custom connector in Shenzhen you walk 200 meters, in Munich you send an email and wait 3 weeks
it’s iteration speed, parallel search vs sequential optimization at the system level, it’s risk tolerance, Chinese founders ship something broken on Monday fix it Tuesday ship again Wednesday while European companies are still in the approval phase for the pilot program of the feasibility study…
and Merz only saw the surface, what he missed is the tier 2 cities like Hefei Chengdu Wuhan replicating the Shenzhen model at scale right now
BYD going from irrelevant to outselling every european automaker combined in roughly 5 years, Huawei building its own 7nm chip under maximum sanctions when every analyst said it was physically impossible & behind all of that a government that treats advanced manufacturing as an existential national priority while europe debates whether AI needs another ethics committee
I think what we’re watching is the most asymmetric economic competition in modern history and most western leaders are still framing it as a productivity problem when it’s actually an ontological one
Europe & America are optimizing variables that China stopped tracking years ago meanwhile China is compounding on dimensions the west has no framework to even measure
Merz at least had the courage to name
it out loud and I respect that genuinely but working a bit more inside a broken architecture just means you arrive at the wrong destination slightly faster
Megatron@Megatron_ron
NEW: 🇩🇪🇨🇳 German Chancellor Merz says Germans need to work more in order to match China: “We are simply no longer productive enough. Each individual may say, “I already do quite a lot.” And that may be true. But when you return from China, ladies and gentlemen, you see things more clearly. With work-life balance and a four-day week, long-term prosperity in our country cannot be maintained. We will simply have to do a bit more.”

@Mauritsvdr @de_NVA De linkse bende die ons komt zegt hoe we best stemmen en leven, wordt door ons gefinancierd. Leg ze droog en al die morele superioriteit verdwijnt. Het wordt tijd dat ze leren wat het echte leven is.
Nederlands

Natuurlijk is deze "besparing" (de subsidiepot groeit in werkelijkheid van 70 miljoen naar 80 miljoen) peanuts en was het beter dat heel het decreet afgeschaft werd.
Maar: het is wel een goede zaak dat @de_NVA zijn been min of meer stijf hield en de subsidies aan de meest absurde VZW's vrijdag naar verluid verdwijnen. Elke stap naar minder overheid en subsidies, hoe klein ook, verdient lof.
Nu verder werken om dit decreet en de absurde subsidieindustrie erachter af te schaffen. Organisaties die echt steun verdienen kunnen dat via de gewone parlementaire weg krijgen.
