The author stated that the Dutch population had grown from just over 1.1 million since early 2016 to approximately 18.1 million. According to the author, around 173,000 people had died and 167,000 babies had been born in 2025, resulting in negative natural growth and the total growth coming entirely from migration. The author referred to Jan Latten, who estimated the group of Dutch origin at about 12.9 million, and wrote that this group was expected to shrink by 1 to 2 million over the coming decades. By 2050, according to the author, the Netherlands would have about 20 million inhabitants. The author argued that the changing population composition put pressure on social and cultural relations, social cohesion, the welfare state, and the housing market. It was written that rapid changes complicated integration and increased parallel societies and clashing norms and values. According to the author, politicians focused too much on symptom treatment and paid too little attention to population growth due to migration and low birth rates among the indigenous population. The author praised Latten for his expertise and warned that politics, media, and society needed to take demographic changes seriously. https://t.co/wVfulQlN6k #demografie #migratie #socialecohesie (translated)

President Zelensky has indicated that Ukraine is still experiencing problems with the Starlink connection, which limits the speed of Ukrainian drones, while he also calls for more support from European allies in light of the recent Russian airstrikes. #Oekraïne #Zelensky #Starlink (translated)

Jan Dijkgraaf wrote that he picked up his new driver's license with Thea's electric Renault 4 and had unknowingly driven faster than 100 kilometers per hour on the A6. He said he was stopped, after which the officer recognized him from 'Briefje van Jan,' asked him to watch his speed, and wished him a nice day. Dijkgraaf called it nice that such a thing was still possible. #verkeer #rijbewijs #snelheid (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. #Crypto #Belasting #Wetgeving (translated)

Ongeloof bij nabestaanden, verdachte schoolkampdrama Vogelwaarde voorlopig vrij. In de zeven dagen voorafgaand aan het dodelijke ongeluk werden maar liefst zeventien snelheidsovertredingen geregistreerd. Op de dag van het ongeluk zelf waren dat er nog eens drie. Ook stonden er filmpjes op zijn telefoon waarop is te zien dat hij zichzelf en de snelheidsmeter van de auto filmt terwijl hij met zeer hoge snelheid rijdt en dat hij met hoge snelheid over een dubbele doorgetrokken streep rijdt. En dan mag deze hufter (zie foto) gewoon morgen naar huis. Onverteerbaar dit. https://t.co/ociUllIx55 #Vogelwaarde #Snelheidsovertredingen #Ongeluk

Dit project loopt al sinds 1996 en de besluiten over de woningen waar ze nu op bezoek waren, zijn al genomen in de tijd dat ik in de gemeenteraad van Harderwijk zat (2018-2023). Van snelheid kun je hier niet spreken. Wel van allerlei experimenten om ondanks alle toestanden op het net en natuurgedoe toch door te gaan. We moesten zelfs WoningBouwImpuls subsidie terugbetalen omdat we te goed ons best deden daar volgens het ministerie. #woningbouw #gemeente #duurzaamheid

In San Francisco, de AI-hoofdstad, was er deze week voelbare spanning na een wereldwijd debat over de risico's van kunstmatige intelligentie, met prominente figuren die op het Dreamforce-congres uiteenlopende opvattingen uitwisselden over de snelheid van AI-ontwikkeling. #AI #SanFrancisco #KunstmatigeIntelligentie

Zeg @Het_OM, misschien dat jullie kunnen uitleggen hoe de nabestaanden met deze eis vrede moeten hebben? Ali. A. rijdt met meer dan twee keer de toegestane snelheid de zwangere Elisabeth dood en het OM vindt acht maanden cel voldoende? Acht maanden!
