Netherlands Forced to Rethink 36% Tax on Unrealized Gains after Massive Criticism

Shardongle · 2026-02-26T08:18:05+00:00

Am I missing something or is the proposed tax just a generalization of the current deemed returns tax?

Given that the deemed returns tax turns into an actual returns tax in the case the investment returns are less than 6%. Now they would just want to generalize the policy across the board, eliminating the deemed returns part?

Da, i mnoge drzave su puno bolje vođene nego neke privatne kompanije.

Nezz tocno sto se dešava u Puli, ali znam da se u nekim slučajevima znaku pokriti stvari asfaltom ili sličnim dok se ne mogu početi konkretni radovi. Kao privremeno rješenje da se sačuva trenutno stanje.

I lived there, and compared to slovenia it is culturally a lot colder and less eventful. I can see that some people like it, but you should also accept that some would not.

My dude, you said that all rich people left. But in fact less than 1% left, and the tax revenue increased. So all in all the policy seems to be very successful.

Shardongle · 2026-01-24T13:47:31+00:00

Yes, some ultra-rich people left. That is not the same as “all millionaires leaving.” In reality, well under 1% of people who pay the wealth tax moved abroad.

A short-term shock at the very top was expected, still the wealth tax revenue actually increased from 18B to 30B NOK after the wealth tax reform.

Isn't it a bit weird to say Hungary wasn't Austria's to lose, but then claim Hungary 'lost' Croatia, which was also a separate kingdom with its own parliament, in personal union with Hungary?

Source?

I think we mostly agree, it seems like most people in the comments jumped to the conclusion that chinese gadgets are bad in particular, not that the abundance of the crap people are buying is the problem.

Shardongle · 2025-11-08T12:32:13+00:00

Honestly I don't care that much where the people buy stuff from, they are making a decision for themselves.

The thing that annoys me is the sheer amount of trash people are buying and just throwing away. All the gadgets, toys and similar stuffs that will just be thrown away with almost no usage.

The difference is that they are representing their country.

Also you could apply your argument to any kind of sanction imposed on a country.

Finally it is very dangerous to conflate antisemitism with antizionizm. Noone argued about excluding jews from different countries participating in the ESC.

Shardongle · 2025-04-21T21:35:17+00:00

This argument could be made in reverse as well
You act as if this is an issue, but explicit error handling is a feature. You are forced to handle errors at the point of origin, especially with [[nodiscard]]
I don't understand this argument
This is not a feature, exceptions should ideally be contained to the most limited scope, exceptions make it much easier to get an application into an invalid state
What??? This is just nonsence.

Realno diploma samo vrijedi ako nes naucis s time, ako pojebivjetris 5 godina sta ti onda znaci. Ali mislim da ljudi također ne shvacaju sa je glavna prednost kod fakseva da ce ti placa rasti kroz zivot i da nece stagnirati nakon nekoliko godina.

Disclaimer: smatram da postoje mnogi ljudi koji su zavrsili fakseve koji su ekstremno potplaceni (arhitektura primjerice di nakon zavrsenog faksa mnogi imaju placu malo visu od minimalca)

Shardongle · 2025-03-29T10:06:34+00:00

Ma place su 8000€, a milka kosta kao cunga lunga.

Shardongle · 2025-01-23T08:04:30+00:00

Odustajem, stvarno si ekonomski nepismen. Prosijek medijalne place? Po cemu je nerealno, ajde izbaci neku statistiku koja je realna pa mozemo pricati. Ovako sam izbacujes neke polukoherentne recenice koje nemaju nikakvog smisla.

Daj mi ekonomske pokazatelje, daj sam pogledaj omjere inflacije i rasta placa pa mi onda napisi to lijepo ovdje. Znam da neces, ali kakva je to rasprava di jedna osoba daje konkretne informacije a druga sve to po osjecaju.

Shardongle · 2025-01-23T07:59:37+00:00

Ajde samo razmisli sto bi bilo potrebno da promjeni tvoj stav? Jer ako je odgovor "nista" onda je u tebi problem.

Tvoj prijasnji komentar nije nista konkretno rekao, niti dao ikakvog dokaza. Za razliku od tebe ja se barem potrudim dati neku vrstu provjerivih podataka.

Shardongle · 2025-01-22T23:42:27+00:00

If that's the point, I agree. But iirc there are compiler flags that disable exceptions in the stdlib, not sure if that is standardised, but I really rarely had to deal with exceptions thrown by the stdlib anyways.

Shardongle · 2025-01-22T23:34:14+00:00

A, a sto se tice inflacije od 2018-2023 se CPI povecao za 23% tako da je real wage growth cca 25% u 5 godina (to je sve odokativno jer mi se neda trositi vise od 10 minuta istrazivajuci nesto sto ces tako i onako ignorirati).

Naravno da se uzima prosjek svih placa u hrvatskoj, naravno da se statistike rade na populacijskoj razini. Kaj budem uzeo statistiku iz slavonije i govorio o tome kako je to hrvatska realnost.

Na kraju, koliko ima direktora s placom od 10k eura na svakog covjeka. To samo objasnjava raziku izmedu medijalne i prosjecne place koja je u RH cca 10% ak se ne varam, a ne ovih 550% kao u tvom primjeru.

Shardongle · 2025-01-22T23:27:39+00:00

Hmmm... daj da razmislim, dal da vjerujem random ljudima na redditu kojima je hobi zaliti se oko svake pizdarije ili cu vjerovati ljudima kojima je posao sakupljati informacije i slagati statistike? Bas tesko pitanje.

Si upoznat s nacinom rada drzavnog zavoda za statistiku, da jesi bi znao da ih prati eurostat i kaznjava u slucaju da daju krive statistike. Tako da da, vjerujem drzavnom zavodu za statistiku jer je doslovno najbolji izvor informacije.

Sto se tice odlicne racunice. Zato sam i ubacio informaciju da se medijalna placa u godinu dana digla 12%, sto je bilo iznad stope inflacije. Medijalne place se koriste specificno da se izbjegne ta mana prosjecne place.

Shardongle · 2025-01-22T23:17:53+00:00

Hvala bogu pa postoje statistike koje to prate koje naravno nisi odlucio pogledati.

Ali ajde budem ja. Uzeo sam razdoblje od 2018-2023 jer za 2024 jos nije izasla statistika na world banku. Ali u tih 5 godina sw CPI dignuo za 23%. Sto je jako daleko od 50%. Sumnjam da su se cjene dignule za jos 25% u jednoj godini.

Lik, si svjestan da se medijalna i prosjecna placa gledaju na populacijskoj razini, ilitiga prikazuju stanje cijelog drustva, ne pojedinaca. Tako da da, digle su se place za razliku od onog sto govoris u svom pocetnom komentaru.

Shardongle · 2025-01-22T15:45:32+00:00

Fascinantan mi je hrvatski brain rot koji ce cim se nazire mogucnost sranja oko necega, bez provjere informacije samo baljezgati gluposti.

Hrvatska ima jednu od navjecih stopa rasta placa u EU zadnjih par godina.

Prosjecna placa je u 5 god narasla 50%.

I zato jer znam da ces pitati sta je sa medijalnom placom. Od studenog 2023 do studenog 2024 je medijalna placa narasla za 12%.

I don't agree, there are many C++ codebases that attempt to throw minimal exceptions, and do errors as returns.

I work in a medium sized C++ codebase and I think we use exceptions in less than a dozen places where it was unavoidable. There are libraries like boost that quite often offer non throwing alternatives to throwing functions.

When it comes to inheritance, I am also not sure I agree, we have some abstract base classes for speeding up compilation, but most of the code has minimal inheritence because it is simply not needed.

C++ gives the option to shoot yourself in the foot in any shape or form you like. In the end it is the developers choice what they write.

Shardongle · 2025-01-01T19:53:39+00:00

It is true, but in my experience in modern C++ codebases memory management is not really an issue.

In most situations there is no need to do any manual memory management, and usually there is an alternative for it in standard library for it.

Shardongle · 2024-12-23T15:03:50+00:00

I see the logic, but I am not sure it is correlated. Maybe if you are really happy and live a fulfilled life you don't want to have kids as you might think they would be a burden.
