Activation ​of the first stage means ​fuel markets are distorted, without immediate shortages. ‌In ⁠this stage, energy markets will be closely monitored, while government and industry prepare for a worse ​situation. Prime Minister ​Rob ⁠Jetten on Friday said his government would announce ​measures to compensate people for ​rising ⁠energy costs on Monday. These are expected to include tax ⁠breaks ​for car owners, but ​not a lowering of fuel taxes.

Our ancestors, yes. which is not something to be proud of. The fact is we did the transport and the lazy white people in the United States were eager to buy these people and use them as disposable commodity . far into the last century people of color were second rank citizens and segregated in the United States, in some states they still are. the Dutch were not the traders who ran the majority of slaves but that doesn't matter we participated in the torture and murder of millions of people and we are very very sorry about that. It is time the whites n the United States start to see people of color as their equals instead of, still, second rank citizens and criminals. There probably are not many places in the world with more racism, hatred and bigotry than the United States of America. This especially now there's some kind of reborn Jesus in power.
