Heinen and Eerenberg admitted that they do not want to wait because they are in an incredible hurry. (translated)
"We do not expect, to be honest, that we will have anything operational in the next few years," said James Manyika of Google last week to The New York Times. (translated)
I just saw the debate between @MPHoogeveen and @Stas_Financien about the difference in taxation between directly held bitcoin, in a wallet or on an exchange (capital gains tax), and bitcoin through an investment product at a bank or broker (wealth tax). @Stas_Financien states that crypto cannot be included in the amendment, because the existing exception for start-ups and scale-ups can only be extended to other securities. But is that really true?! An amendment is a legislative proposal with which you can modify and/or supplement another legislative proposal. The fact that there is currently no exception for crypto (and precious metals) does not automatically mean that you cannot add one. If speed is the reason to accept that difference, then concretely justify why direct crypto/precious metals cannot be included in time. My question would be: What concrete legal provision makes it impossible for crypto/precious metals to be included in the same amendment? Saying "that exception was not included yet" is not sufficient. It didn't exist for start-ups either, but was also added. Think of an addition for regulated institutions, exchanges, or brokers that have a license or AFM permit. (translated)
Many people have complained to @NOS about that bizarre video (see my article: https://t.co/FufqioH1Au) and now people are sending me the standard response that apparently everyone receives. To be honest, we were not planning to submit a complaint. But we are going to do it anyway. (translated)
"Nabil B. chose survival and revenge. But it was not a frivolous decision. The weight of his decision is unimaginably great. He will remain a hunted man until his grave." His lawyer Peter Schouten reiterated on Thursday that his client had no other choice. (translated)
The @cdavandaag does not want to protect its own population and borders.... How disgusting do you want it to be? 🤡 (translated)
And why on precious metals and crypto then?! Why that difference?! You are now acting as if the wealth appreciation tax is completely off the table, which is not the case. (translated)

UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!! The De Wever government is together with Spain the ONLY government that does not want to send illegal immigrants home faster !?!? Just voted in the European Parliament, just been exposed! Watch the vote in the video! SHARE! Everyone needs to know that De Wever is completely unreliable! FOLLOW this page, what doesn’t make the news, you’ll hear here !!! (translated)
The cabinet is making a plan. VVD and CDA withdraw the same day. Tomorrow a new plan will go to the Council of State, while the content and coverage are uncertain. And according to Minister Heinen, I am the one muddying the waters... What a chaos. Savers and investors still do not know where they stand. #box3 (translated)
Pat Travers (Toronto, 12 april 1954) is een Canadees bluesrockgitarist, toetsenist en zanger die halverwege de jaren 1970 zijn opnamecarrière begon. Travers is geboren en getogen in Toronto. Kort nadat hij op 12-jarige leeftijd de gitaar had opgepakt, zag hij Jimi Hendrix optreden in Ottawa. Travers begon al vroeg in zijn tienerjaren in bands te spelen. Zijn eerste bands waren de Music Machine (niet te verwarren met de Californische psychedelische/garageband met dezelfde naam), Red Hot en Merge, die in clubs in de omgeving van Quebec speelden. https://hvdommelen.nl/t/Travers.html
What an incomprehensible "self-driving car management" from @VVD @Minister_FIN Eelco Heinen. It is really no shame to say now: "I no longer stand behind this, I resign!" It is called self-respect, Eelco. (translated)
Typerend. This is the director of Avansa VZW. His organization, linked to the Catholic union, receives 13.6 million euros in subsidies each year. What do they do with it? Organize forest walks. With a left-activist approach. And as he aptly explains here: "doing things for people". Like "writing a book about the elderly" and then "touring schools with it and making a theater presentation". The man risks losing a maximum of 5% of subsidies with this government agreement. That means: instead of 13.6 million euros, he will now receive "only" 13 million euros per year (it is likely to be around 13.4 million in reality). According to the public broadcaster, this is "cold, bleak" almost inhumane. Those not invited to discuss this: working dual-income earners who struggle to save a little money. They will continue to pay the 13.4 million euros to Avansa. In this country, you are already seen as cold and bleak when you question that. Abolish the entire subsidy pot of 80 million euros. If there are a few organizations that could use some support, that can perfectly be done through a regular subsidy. (translated)
As usual, heavy conditions are expected in Malaysia. Max Verstappen talks about 'getting comfortable with the uncomfortable'. Fernando Alonso recalled the grueling race in 2005: “Half of the current drivers would not have survived races in the past.” (translated)
The #SaskiaKluit is a senator of #PRO. Earlier, as chair of the travelers' organization Rover, she showed sympathy for Extinction Rebellion, which occupied the tracks in support of the Palestinians. Now she finds it unacceptable that NOS gives a lot of attention to a "troubling incident," in which 180 people on an airplane escaped death. It is alarming that she talks about the "automated and industrial" killing of Palestinians. Kluit is a disgrace to the image of the Senate as a 'Chambre de Reflection' and a symbol of the complete decline of PRO when it comes to Israel. (translated)
VVD is backing down again. How can a @Minister_FIN in heaven's name want to halve the tax-free allowance and not realize that this affects small savers? It's messing around. The cabinet is already throwing the plan that affects small investors and savers in the trash. (translated)
The box 3 plan contains a harmful crypto gap. As a result, it is not fiscally neutral, acts as a competitor disturber, undermines entrepreneurs, incites undesirable behavior among investors, and causes unforeseen costs for citizens. But: recovery can be quick. 👇🧵 (translated)
Unrest in the Chamber over Rianne Letschert (D66) who says something different than the rest of the cabinet about education cuts. It seems like the D66 member is not familiar with the unity of cabinet policy and speaking with one voice. #AFB (translated)
This is what you need to know if your children and grandchildren call you to account later for the fact that they have no roof over their heads, despite working hard and saving a lot. Hope then for heaven's sake (and I mean that literally) that you did not vote for @D66, @cdavandaag, and especially not for @VVD. (translated)
It's not about a 'rich' country or wealthy citizens. It's about young people who save or invest in the hope that they can one day have a chance at their own home. Keep in mind that the median has 15,000 euros in investments and investors with an asset of 10,000 euros already have to start paying taxes, whereas that was previously 57,000. These are the ordinary Dutch citizens. The investors, the entrepreneurs, the employees. People who work hard, take risks, and create jobs. These are people who are considering leaving because they do not see the Dutch government as a reliable partner. You should be ashamed of that. Now try to keep the welfare state standing. The Laffer Curve in full effect. (translated)
