Publieke bedrijven met private prikkels. Geld verdienen is makkelijker door minder reizigers meer te laten betalen. Terwijl het publieke doel juist moet zijn om zoveel mogelijk mensen zo prettig mogelijk te vervoeren.

Thank you to the many people who kindly voted in this! Tomorrow, I’m off on not one, but two adventures from this list. One topped the poll…the other didn’t. But I’m doing it anyway due to a limited commitment to democracy. So - join Mrs Turtle and I tomorrow afternoon for #ContinentHop24!

After X’s repressive actions, hundreds of thousands in Turkey joined Bluesky, seeking a freer space. Reports of government censorship here are deeply troubling. Don’t squander this trust. This is a critical moment for principled leadership—not silent compromise. @jay.bsky.team

Zij zegt het hard op: „De NAVO is dood! Er is geen afschrikking meer. Artikel 5 is oud papier. We weten heel goed dat deze Amerikaanse regering in geval van een Russische aanval op Litouwen, geen oorlog zal voeren met Moskou. Als Poetin daar wil binnenvallen, lijkt nú het meest geschikte moment.“

Word niet onverschillig. Het feit dat Oekraïners iedere dag zien dat we bereid zijn te helpen, maakt zo'n groot verschil. Want onthoud één ding goed: Oekraïners zullen nooit opgeven. Het is een trotse Europese natie die onder alle omstandigheden onze solidariteit verdient.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
