In Europees perspectief vindt er in #BelgiĂŤ bovengemiddeld veel #zwartwerk plaats. In 2023 ging het om ca. 15,4% van het bruto binnenlands product (bbp). Zwartwerk is persoonlijke #verrijking en dus #diefstal ten nadele van de #maatschappij.

50.9% versus 49.1%... electoral systems for direct elections should actually be designed so that there must be a (pre-determined) existential difference or else new elections must be organised. Otherwise, pure chance gives the deciding factor. #elections www.bbc.com/news/article...

I saw ‘Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning’ and I read the signs: a female black president, a female admiral of an aircraft carrier, two female pilots of a military helicopter, an indigenous Inuit woman defending her country... #MI8 #MissionImpossible youtu.be/fsQgc9pCyDU?...

At the #UGC #cinema in #Brussels, where background #music is always played before the film starts, there was now an English #instruction to #install a #Xenon #lamp. Is that a handy trick to avoid paying #copyright fees for music?

I am increasingly of the opinion that #human #remains, no matter how old they are, do not belong in a #museum, but should be laid to rest in a #respectful manner. That does not mean that #scientific #research cannot be carried out beforehand, but it must also be done #respectfully.

Legend has it that #Einstein said his other great idea (after #relativity) was adding an #egg while cooking a bowl of #soup, so that you can boil an egg without making an extra pot dirty.

Wie meent dat #mensenrechten soms de #democratie bedreigen, heeft geen goed begrip van wat mensenrechten en democratie zijn. De stelling komt ook helemaal niet in het stuk van #Torfs voor, waardoor ik denk dat hij de titel voor zijn opiniestuk niet zelf heeft gekozen. doorbraak.be/soms-bedreig...

The ‘negotiations’ between the #US and #Russia on a peace for #Ukraine show that the US has no strategic and well-thought-out foreign policy at all and that #POTUS47‘s thoughts turn with the whim of the day. This shows that the US is weak and Russia is strong. And the EU? It doesn’t know either.
