  • That is one side of the coin. But what if he gets into financial trouble later in life, when you’re no longer there, or otherwise able to support him? Addictions, accidents, bad business ownership, legal trouble - there are lots of ways people can inadvertently lose everything they have.

    If you’ve never learned how to build stuff up from the ground up, it will be a lot harder to recover.

    There are valuable lessons in earning your own house and working for your keep. If everything comes easy it’s going to be a problem when things get tough. You can only hope you set them up well enough that there’s never going to be financial woes.









  • With the motion now adopted, the Dutch government must formally respond and decide whether to implement the request.

    And they won’t.

    Wilders is a right wing nut job whose popularity is decreasing rapidly. His party was now elected twice into the government and in both cases they blew up the coalition, causing new elections.

    The sentiment regarding his party is now that they are unable to govern and just cause chaos. This is becoming clear even among his followers.

    Before the elections they promise the impossible. When they are in the opposition it’s easy to maintain that the ruling parties are messing stuff up, but now that they were actually part of the government they have shown twice now that they are unable to deliver any of their fantasy solutions and that they can’t govern.

    Tipping in general is a concept that should just die. Same actually as bonuses. I work at a rather large company where sales closing a deal will get them a bonus. In my job I don’t directly deal with customers, so I can never get a bonus. U don’t work less hard than sales. I would actually say my job is more stressful. They should just pay people what they’re worth.
