Israel and Genocide

"What is Genocide? Many scholars and progressives are reluctant to call Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide.

and to get a dopamine hit that might compensate for the financial hit.

Moet de overheid het verlies van de NS bijpassen?

Ja, is de conclusie. Een bedrag van 60 miljoen kan beter verholpen worden met een rijksbijdrage. Als de kaartjes duurder worden en de frequentie en de zitplaatsen minder, stappen meer mensen in de auto en moeten miljarden geïnvesteerd worden in het wegennet en raken doelstellingen voor de verlaging van de CO2 uitstoot verder uit het zicht. Aldus Peter de Waard in de Volkskrant. Gewoon je gezond verstand gebruiken!!!
