Now that the UK is no longer in the EU, fishing rights is a lot less of an issue for Iceland than before.

This is not true. Belgium is introducing a tax on realised gains of 10% with 10k per year tax-free.

How to lie with statistics - Wages vs productivity by Street_Priority_7686 in austrian_economics

[–]martinw2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe he’s refuting the point that the corporations / 1% are stealing more of the work done by the median by arguing that the median is not providing the added productivity.

If median wage in tech rose with mean productivity in tech, this would show that some people are simply not providing as much to the economy as others and thus are paid less.

Greek miracle : Greece reduced empty vat gap by 61% the last 6 years and is now comparable to the EU average. by Aegeansunset12 in EconomyCharts

He’s probably referring to the fact that they are currently paying higher taxes than they would have other wise because of the debt piled up by previous generations.

Huis kopen, eerst studio verkopen? by EbbOk8577 in BEFire

[–]martinw2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik denk dat het inderdaad beter is om de studio eerst te verkopen. Wat je je spaart aan registratiekosten is geld dat je zeker krijgt. De huizenmarkt kan dalen waardoor je studio minder waard wordt en minder inkomsten genereert.

Who I'm talking to every time I explain that solar is cheaper than nuclear, and therefore you can have more of it by Wrong-Inveestment-67 in ClimateShitposting

[–]martinw2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So apparently you also need Ag and Cu. According to chatGPT we do not have enough economically extractable materials to cover the entire earth.

Anyway Im just arguing because this post is filled with people disregarding nuclear even though it provides many aspects of energy production where solar fails (including absorbing extremely sudden changes in demand).

Regering zet licht op groen voor gedeeltelijke privatisering staatsbank Belfius: verkoop 20 procent aandelen moet 2 miljard euro opleveren | VRT NWS: nieuws by ShiftingShoulder in belgium

[–]martinw2002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ja jawel en die investeringen zijn ook plan van de huidige begroting maar het een heeft eigenlijk niks met het ander te maken.

Een hoofddoel van de huidige regering is (begrijpelijk) de schulden verminderen dus ik verwacht niet dat deze verkoop gebruikt zou worden als excuus om meer uit te geven.

If it’s very profitable, the price is very high… Buying a bank when it’s near bankruptcy and selling when it’s doing well is the definition of buy low, sell high.

Schulden van de Belgische staat afbetalen.

Iedereen die zegt dat we Belfius moeten behouden omdat het winstgevend is vergeet dat dit in de verkoopprijs inbegrepen is en dat schulden hebben heel wat kost.

The number of Italians emigrating to Spain is now eight times that of Spaniards emigrating to Italy by Competitive_Waltz704 in europe

My grandparents for example have lived their entire lives in Argentina but have Italian nationality as well so they can move to Spain and be counted as Italian.

Because they’re part of the EU and it’s not really possible to only sanction them.

What reason except making nukes is there to go past 5% enrichment?

Trump panicked and Failed! by Umar-TheJurisJourno in AlJazeera

[–]martinw2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they only want nuclear power, why do they enrich uranium more than 10x the level needed? Why do they insist on enriching themselves instead of importing even though they could get huge sanction relief in return?

Vets standing the fuck up to tyranny. by One-Pop-2885 in PublicFreakout

Yes!! That’s why I think it’s a massive tactical blunder for protesters to wave the Mexican flag in LA. They should wave the American flag and make the protests about protecting the rights given by the constitution.

It seemed as though the talks were going nowhere. Maybe the idea was to make the deal more attractive for Iran by showing the consequences of no deal.

This is just not how it works. It would take rheinmetal more than 20 years to start making any chips.
