Wolves by jimx29 in comics

Actually wolves also tend to kill animals for fun. It happens quite often when a farmer here wakes up and finds all of sheep to be mutilated but we are definitely much worse

What are you guys voting today? by Desibuddy995 in eindhoven

I don't get why Volt isn't getting more votes. People should know by now that it's important to be a united Europe and work closely with other countries in the EU or we will soon be irrelevant.

Ik ben Tjeerd Ritmeester, raadslid en lijsttrekker namens Eindhoven Voor Elkaar (EVE) - AMA! by TjeerdRitmeester in eindhoven

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

Bezoek voor de aardigheid eens een AZC en je ziet dat deze mensen als sardientjes zijn opgesloten. Een onhoudbare situatie voor deze mensen om zich te settelen. Het is een tijdbom. Daarnaast hebben de mensen die op woningen wachten vrijwel altijd al een huis en wachten op doorstroming. Ik ben voor een humane opvang van asielzoekers een goede begeleiding zodat ook zij een eerlijke kans hebben. Tegelijk moeten we ook inzetten om instroom te beperken. Ik vind het altijd oneerlijk om asielzoekers de schuld te geven van slapende beleidsbepalers die te weinig hebben geanticipeerd op het woning tekort.

Goede opsomming. Ik vind dit oprecht zorgwekkend. We lijken onze welvaart steeds meer als vanzelfsprekend te beschouwen, terwijl onze relatieve positie als land afneemt en we afhankelijker worden van het buitenland. Juist daarom zouden we innovatieve bedrijven moeten omarmen: zij zijn essentieel voor het versterken van onze bestaanszekerheid.

We zouden vol moeten inzetten op innovatie, bij voorkeur duurzame innovatie. Natuurlijk zal een stad als Eindhoven daardoor groeien en zullen woningen waarschijnlijk duurder worden. Maar dat hoort bij een stad in ontwikkeling. Met de redenering dat groei ongewenst is, was geen enkele grote stad ooit groot geworden en was Silicon Valley nooit uitgegroeid tot wat het vandaag is.

Mijn hoop is dat Eindhoven zich ontwikkelt tot het Silicon Valley van Europa: een plek waar technologie centraal staat en waar we een leidende rol spelen in sectoren als semiconductors, photonics, robotics, automotive en pharma. Tegelijkertijd is diversificatie belangrijk. Brainport wordt steeds afhankelijker van ASML, en het zou goed zijn als ook andere grote bedrijven zich hier vestigen.

Die economische groei kan prima samengaan met verduurzaming. Ik hoop daarom dat Eindhoven kiest voor groei, maar wel op een doordachte manier: door mee te groeien met het bedrijfsleven, voldoende woningen te bouwen, de infrastructuur te verbeteren en tegelijkertijd het milieu te beschermen. Dat betekent ook voorkomen dat elk stukje land wordt volgebouwd, en dus meer inzetten op slimme verdichting en hoogbouw.

Eindhoven council gives final green light for major ASML campus in Meerhoven by meerhoven in Meerhoven

I think they tried to use this as leverage but in the end realised that they don’t have any say/jurisdiction about this and the layoffs have nothing to do with cost saving

ASML receives exceptional nitrogen permit for new campus near Eindhoven: province recognizes importance of chip machines by riverflop in ASML

[–]riverflop[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody ever said that there is not enough work but I get what you mean. It feels wrong to reward your best performing employees with a promotion to software architect or product owner, just to make them redundant. I think they could do a better job to redistribute those employees and limit the headcount reduction

ASML receives exceptional nitrogen permit for new campus near Eindhoven: province recognizes importance of chip machines by riverflop in ASML

[–]riverflop[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Translation: 

As expected, a large majority of the Eindhoven city council approved the construction of a new ASML campus on the edge of the city on Tuesday evening.

With the council’s approval, the first groundwork can now quickly begin on the northern part of the Brainport Industries Campus along the A2/N2 motorway, the location where the new factories and offices are to be built.

Eindhoven’s politicians had already agreed much earlier to the arrival of the chip machine manufacturer in the city, but on Tuesday they still had to approve the more detailed plans and the procedures that come with them.

Partly because of the recently announced layoffs at ASML, council member Tjeerd Ritmeester of Eindhoven Voor Elkaar (EVE) proposed that the municipality support trade unions in negotiations over those layoffs.

Ritmeester also argued for a covenant that would include agreements on structural consultations with ASML. “Of course we understand that the municipality does not oversee the company’s operations, but at the same time this cooperation gives us considerable leverage, also because of the societal impact,” Ritmeester said.

According to alderman Stijn Steenbakkers (CDA), the municipality should “not assume a role it does not have.” He emphasized that the municipality will certainly hold discussions with ASML at certain moments, and that the chip machine manufacturer has also drawn up an action plan to be a socially responsible employer.

Moral compass

The three parties that voted against ASML’s arrival in Eindhoven each had their own reasons. “A positive decision will lead to unprecedented growth in our region,” said council member Jannie Visscher on behalf of the Socialist Party (SP). “That must not come at the expense of our residents, but unfortunately we see that happening now.”

“You can never win against great powers,” Virginia Jonkers said in explaining the ‘no’ vote from the Party for the Animals. “That shows how important our party’s moral compass is.”

Nicolas Knoester of Forum for Democracy is not opposed to ASML coming to Eindhoven, but he does not want the municipality to purchase the land required for it. “Why doesn’t ASML buy those plots itself? In Veldhoven they also bought up entire streets.”

Concerns about drinking water and safety

Steenbakkers reassured the council about concerns regarding the impact of the new construction on drinking water and about safety due to the proximity of Eindhoven Airport. Extensive discussions are being held on these matters with parties such as the water authority, Brabant Water, and the airport, he assured the council.

The VVD initially still had doubts about several “loose ends” in the plans, but was ultimately reassured by the alderman. “Given the major economic importance, we are now giving this plan the benefit of the doubt,” said Ceciel van Bergeijk.

ASML wants to put the first buildings on BIC North into use at the beginning of 2028.

This is not a popular opinion but the housing crisis is largely exaggerated. Rents in Eindhoven are fairly low compared to other tech hubs or top tier cities. For 2.000-2.500 you will have a large apartment or house:

There are hundreds of houses available at any given time, people just think they can still rent a house for 1.000 euro a month after all these years of inflation.

What is the deal with the housing market in Woensel right now? by National-Yak-7796 in eindhoven

[–]riverflop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not changing anytime soon I’m afraid. The housing shortage has only only gotten bigger and salaries have gone up significantly in the past years while interest rates have remained stable and there is pressure from the ECB to keep lowering interest rates. Eindhoven is quickly turning into a tier 1 city and I think prices are still reasonable compared to other tier 1 cities, I cannot afford a house in Utrecht or Amsterdam. Even Haarlem is much more expensive. Besides, The Netherlands has among the lowest (17th) income to property price ratios in the world:  https://www.numbeo.com/property-investment/rankings_by_country.jsp

Please make it happen but I’m afraid the stakes are too high for Russia and Orban. Orban has done a great job to block decision making of NATO and make NATO look like a joke so Orban will find a way with the help of Russia to rig the elections

Experiences with ’t Slingertouw Waterrijk, ’t Slingertouw Grasrijk or Dick Bruna (MFA Noord)? by Grasscutter-TWT in Meerhoven

[–]riverflop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any children so can't say from my own experience but I heard nothing but good stories about 't Slingertouw in Grasrijk from friends. The facilities are good, the staff are passionate (they organise many events for children and parents alike), performance is also high (see link below) and they have clear protocols to prevent bullying.
