Someone crazy person just proposed an 8,5% wealth tax to replace income tax. And then says:
> Young people with high incomes now often spend on luxury, because saving for a house seems unfeasible. "If they can build wealth faster, they will postpone that expensive journey for a while," says Kooiman.
How do you build wealth if it's taxed at 8.5% per year? Sounds to me like this forces everyone (even more) to get a mortgage, because a home is taxed less than every other asset and won't pay net worth tax until you've repaid the house.

Everyone should decide their own emotional state, but if you're organizing a conference and have foreigners attend, you should probably pay attention to border policy.
There've always been scary incidents occasionally, but the frequency has increased and the government is actively fear mongering.
My former university of Utrecht is now giving staff burner laptops for conference travel. That's the kind of stuff one normally does for China.

> Het OM had dit stilzetten van de overmatige bankmonitoring natuurlijk ook zelf kunnen doen. Als bewaker van het strafrecht had het artikel 138c kunnen toepassen op deze massale privacyschending. Maar in plaats daarvan richtte het zich op het verder opjagen en onder druk zetten van banken vanwege hun antiwitwasbeleid. Dát is waar het misgaat in Nederland.
