right.. what part?
most of it...
Not sure what to say about this. This is a failure of every level of government, some levels are more willing to try to address part of this while other levels are actively trying to make it worse. To me this statement feels like it comes from someone who is frustrated but hasn't taken the time to understand the problem that they are frustrated with.
Inflation is being dealt with... Things are nearly back to normal levels of inflation. You can't say that it's not being addressed.
This is normal and a good thing? I'm also not sure which taxes you're referring to? Our taxes haven't really changed much recently.
Unless you have meaningful examples there isn't anything I can say here.
Once again I need some sources on this, this sounds like something you heard and are repeating without taking the time to understand what was being talked about and now you're trying to pass it off as fact.
Not sure what you're talking about here. Is this referring to businesses "offshoring" the production of goods? This has been happening for a long time and I hope that we can start bring more manufacturing back "onshore"
Yes poverty is up, but not for the reasons you're suggesting(unless you have some new data I haven't seen). food inflation is going to be the new norm until the world gets the climate crisis under control. Our global agriculture system is not built to handle the rapidly changing climate we've created. droughts, floods and war are likely going to continue to cause price instability.
This is also normal? Many economists believe that economic downswings every 7-15 years is good for an economy because it helps wipe out under preforming businesses. if a company took out 60k in loans, and after 4 years hasn't been able to pay back the 40k they owe (20k was already forgiving), and also can't find a bank to move that loan to, they are likely not running a very good business.
I'm glad that we gave these businesses a lifeline during covid, but at some point they need to prove that they can adapt to the new market conditions. No one forced them to take these loans...
So ya, to me most of this was a mix of unsubstantiated opinion and vague concepts, which I feel is acceptable to call nonsense
ps. i'm talking about the Netherlands
The minister is doing the opposite because he doesn't know market dynamics https://www.nporadio1.nl/nieuws/politiek/6dc70657-6081-480b-a2e4-7eddf8a17c37/huurwet-van-hugo-de-jonge-rijdt-meer-woningen-bouwen-volledig-in-de-wielen
The government shouldn't be our babysitter. They're increasing living restricitions and costs more and more.
Back to what? These days mom and dad both need to work for money to make ends meet. (and one of both can't be home properly for the kids) That was different when i was a kid.
and only for a possible 1.5degrees according to some model?! https://nos.nl/artikel/2472948-kabinet-trekt-28-miljard-uit-voor-120-klimaatmaatregelen-zal-af-en-toe-knellen

The climate science isn't settled to say it's CO2 and/or Nitrogen etc. There's documentary and books showing that there's no actual source to claim it as facts. This books tries to find the actual basis for it but fails: https://www.amazon.nl/Niemand-Cockpit-stikstof-case-study/dp/9083271595
Regarding droughts and floods in europe, maybe these privately subsidized parties are pulling the wrong strings..
Regarding Price instability > How about US taking responsibility for the Nordstream pipeline bombing. Biden has said plainy that he would. Why is it not picked up?
Government imposed lockdowns without constent. (which afterwards were proven to be useless).That means owners were left without income, increasing debt and staff with similar insecurities. How is that a good thing? imo, the government should have forgiven them the money. i as a tax-payer rather give them my tax-money than all the money wasted on the 1.5degrees without any proof of actual effect.
