Een heel lang interview, maar dit pak ik er even uit.
Al heel lang moet Nederland keuzes maken: -alles kan niet-, dat wordt een puinhoop, zoals het nu al een tijd aan het worden is.
Daarvoor hebben we -gewoon- een heel breed kabinet nodig wat op ruime steun kan rekenen en dat bereid is om -in overleg- tot afgewogen keuzes te komen.

I just submitted a talk for the Geospatial room at #FOSDEM. It's about #OSM. Do you think this would be interesting for the audience?

Die Anforderungen von Geheimdiensten & Co. an die Abhörmöglichkeiten von #6G lesen sich wie die Wunschliste eines Autokraten. Doch, so @… , haben die Telecoms ein wichtiges Wort mitzureden. Und die ganzen Anforderungen der Lauschorganisationen erschweren ihnen, Geld zu …

I still have my pet theory that Shelley Carroll is prepping a run for mayor.
Her last newsletter is a good example of it. Keeps trying to distance herself from the mayor. Taking stands for "fiscal responsability". Defending 3 millions-home owners. etc etc

When the government offers to provide rebates or tax credits to low income Canadians, as recently announced by our Federal Government, most welcome the extra cash. But it doesn't address the key issue in affordable food, housing, or utilities. All of that extra government cash, provided by taxpayers BTW, gets sucked up by corporations that continue to rake in record profits. If you want to truly attack the #Affordability problem then implement laws that penalize excess profit taking by corporations. Take key necessities (food, transit, shelter, utilities, etc.) and create public options that are run as cooperatives and have controlled profit margins.
Marit Styles points out the difference between food prices at independent grocers versus the big chains. The policy position from @… on establishing a public grocery option makes sense, as long as we also protect the small independent vendors in our communities.
