  • Again, I’m not against this initiative in it’s entirety. I’m just remarking it doesn’t tackle the real problem. And to answer your question, having savings around a million euros isn’t weird for western Europeans. The standard of living here is fairly high. The average starter home is around 400k euros where I live. Meaning regular 4 people family homes are almost double that. Again. I’m not against this proposal. But it’s just populist pandering. Most people just read the title and go “yeah eat the rich”. I know Paul Magnette. I’d never vote for him cause he’s not a sincere politician. He’s a populist. It’s the modern political disease, they’re all populists. No one is honest anymore. They’re all there in your face just to get votes. This proposal is nothing more than a simple ad and power grab. I wish it were different. I really do. The real problem is that no one who works for someone else earns their fair share. Corrupt governments won’t solve this.


  • I’m not against this initiative per se. But this is just another tax on middle class people and doesn’t tackle the real wealth being hidden in multinationals that don’t pay any tax and hold governments hostage by threat of moving their employment away. They are the problem. They pollute like no other because no one is ever held accountable.


  • Belgium’s, quite a bit off. I’d frequent the hell out of a place that would sell beer that cheap. Most places sell 0.5l’s for around €6 nowadays. The lowest price store bought is ridiculous here though. It’s around 90 cents per liter. Most people have some prejudice around it because of the price but it’s actually a very good beer. Carapils I ♥️ you!!!












  • Because I want a big phone. More battery and more screen is better for me. In all these videos they say phones have gotten bigger… But they haven’t. They’ve been around the same size for 7 - 8 years now. People think this because the screen diagonal has crept up a bit but that doesn’t tell much about the size when the screen ratios changes. In fact there were quite a few phones that were over 80mm wide 5+ years ago. I wish they still made some like that instead of making them longer.


  • I know you said you don’t want to buy second hand, but if I were you I’d buy a 6800 xt second hand. That’s by far the best bang per buck you’ll get. I’ve been buying second hand gpu’s for over 10 years and have never had any trouble. Just don’t buy any dirty, overclocked or used for mining cards and you should be fine. I already looked on OLX and there are a few between €350 and €400. If you really want to buy new I’d go for the 7600 xt.

    Good luck!
