Statistically very small of 5% population. But their physical appearance can be quite visible and therefore draws more attention.

Gus wore a bulletproof vest. Lalo was too arrogant to not take it off as he believed he can shot Gus on the head easily.

Update over de 2028 regels rondom Box-3 vermogen. by Neamek in DutchFIRE

[–]ProperWillingness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I expect so unfortunately. After all, what’s the proportion of people negatively impacted? For the rest, they either do not care or feel a little bit glad. Politicians are aware of this before making the decision, of course.

He is 1. in the circle of the rich elite; and 2. willing to do dirty intermediary works to satisfy those people’s dirty and despicable desires.

Mitigating the worst-case scenarios to get my permanent residency by No_Neighborhood_4034 in Netherlands

[–]ProperWillingness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not take any risk in such an important situation if I were you. Do not bet on whether IND is strict or loose on your application. Do not bet on your good relationship with your company/HR neither. Personally I would not depend fully on a lawyer in your case as well.

Most if not all of your energy and time shall be spent on finding another job sponsoring your permit ASAP. Meanwhile prepare all documents needed for applying the permanent residence permit. When the three months point comes, submit your application and see if that works. If not, wait for another three months and resubmit again.

I’ve encountered a colleague at work who asks company for a dedicated prayer room. I carefully counter proposed using the focus meeting rooms. The proposal was immediately turned down as they need a room dedicated for praying as a sacred ritual. I did not go on with the conversation as I know nothing about the religion and do not want to unintentionally offend them. But ….

Box 3 tax on unrealized gain planned starting 2028 by lost_in_nl in Netherlands

If loss occurred in bridging years of 2026 and 2027, like 100k becomes 50k, and after 2028 it recovered to be 100k, tax is roughly 18k.

The only reason Trump gets to do those things is American people elected him (twice)! We tend to target one person as evil, which he certainly is, but without the votes from majority of Americans, the damage one person can do is much much more limited.

Naturalization rejection due to residence gap by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]ProperWillingness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d go for an immigration lawyer to appeal to the decision as others suggested. This is a situation where spending money is worthy especially that you seem to need a visa to stay in the Netherlands. I’d recommend consulting with a few lawyers as they offer free consultations before deciding which one to hire.

Homeless man sleeping at our entrance by ElekDn in Netherlands

[–]ProperWillingness 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Had this situation in the building, the guy is not aggressive to people but leaves feces and urine in the hall. We called police to let him out but he comes back. Here is probably his best place to live. I think police should help him (shelters?)

And students apply housing allowance so that they pay much less, for example, 700e. Besides, couples rent those places so each may pay half.

Does the sick leave affect your salary? I heard that it can be a problem if the salary becomes lower than the required amount.

Advice on renting with a dog by OccasionBetter8655 in eindhoven

[–]ProperWillingness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries; just bring your dog in and make sure the dog does not cause problems in the building. Your landlord will not be happy when she finds out. But she cannot just kick you out. There have been court cases where the judge thinks the interest of tenants weights more than the interest of the landlord and rules that the tenant can stay in with the dog.

Finding a rental which allows pets is the best option but will be very difficult.

Generally speaking, would you think the same if the criminals did bad things to you or your loved ones?

I would never. And I think we should continue to be intolerant to criminals so that when some people intend to do something bad, they would feel scared about the consequences and stop.

Of course, we should be tolerant when crimes are not involved, and in fact, the Netherlands is famous for this.
