A hundred years after the birth of Fidel Castro, his legacy continues to weigh on Cuba, an island currently overwhelmed by an economic and humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by U.S. sanctions and years of mismanagement, while the shadow of the Líder Máximo and his ideals persists despite reforms not yet leading to significant change.

Tja @Ct_teunissen, je bijdrage over de bosbranden was weer typisch: hysterisch, eenzijdig en vooral politiek lui. Je schreeuwt om een ‘crisisaanpak’ omdat volgens jou ‘de klimaatcrisis’ alles erger maakt. De werkelijkheid schetst toch een heel ander perspectief. Ja, het is droger en warmer geworden. Maar de branden worden vooral gevoed door de rommel die al jaren in Nederlandse bossen en natuurgebieden ligt: dood hout, dichte ondergroei, verdord gras en vegetatie door slecht beheer. Dat is geen ‘klimaatcrisis’, dat is mismanagement. En daar heb jij met jouw ideologische fixatie op ‘natuur zijn gang laten gaan’ en ‘geen menselijke interventie’ zelf aan bijgedragen. @henkvermeer had wat dat betreft gewoon gelijk. Je had dat kunnen erkennen en samen met hem een vuist kunnen maken om dat aan te pakken. In plaats daarvan koos je ervoor het klimaat de schuld te geven. Weet je wat dat is Christine? Dat is politieke luiheid, omdat je niet in staat bent om in oplossingen te denken, zelfs als die op een presenteerblaadje worden aangeboden door een collega politicus die ongetwijfeld samen met jou een plan van aanpak wil maken. Maar goed, je hebt wel weer even je ideologische inborst de sporen kunnen geven, ongegeneerd kunnen oreren over de klimaatcrisis. Ondertussen ligt die rommel nog steeds in het bos en zijn we niet dichter bij een oplossing, toch? #Klimaat #Bosbranden #Politiek

I know, I know: he was responsible for the largest man-made famine in history, catastrophic economic mismanagement, the horrors of the Cultural Revolution, etc. And didn't China's economic takeoff #MaoZedong #ChinaEconomy #CulturalRevolution #CN

Het blijft mij verbazen; de overheid/regering zoekt miljarden om hun spilzucht, desastreuze begroting en jarenlang financieel mismanagement wat op te vangen en allerlei experten, onderzoekers, commentatoren, politici blijven mordicus zwijgen over het ontvetten van de staat, overheidsuitgaven aanpassen, overtollige subsidies aanpakken, efficiëntie van de overheid, teveel werknemers van de staat enzovoort... Er wordt steeds weer gekeken naar inspanningen van de bevolking. Een bevolking die door de hoge belastingen en taksen in combinatie met stijgende prijzen al op haar tandvlees zit. Goed bestuur? Begin bij jezelf! Hou die moddervette overheid tegen het licht. #GoedBestuur #Overheid #Financiën
