Why not both? Pay back 400 million, plus interest and jail time?

Again a situation in which the rich simply cannot lose. Fraud for 400 million, worst case they “catch” you and you have to settle for double, but he could have used that 400 million for years to expand his fortune, now that settlement is still cheap for him. Besides, if they never caught him, he would have had even more.

The only real punishment for these people is taking away their time, i.e jail time.

I don’t condone how and what they are doing. But I don’t negate the fact that something like a big assault on Israel was bound to happen.

[–] Ronno@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The thing is, Israel has been bullying, then you cannot be surprised by the reaction. Even though the reaction itself isn’t good at all. Both sides share the blame of this war and humanitarian crisis

That’s not what I meant to say though

Hit a dog with a stick everyday, one day the dog will bite. Sure, the biting isn’t good behavior and must be called out, but it could have been expected given the actions that led to the incident.

Ja dat werkt volgens een zelfde systeem, ik weet de percentages niet uit mijn hoofd. Ook betaal je een kleine eigen bijdrage bij dokter bezoek, maar dit is nog altijd minder dan eigen risico in NL.

Desalniettemin krijg je in BE wel meer, als je geopereerd bent en 40 fysio behandelingen nodig hebt krijg je die gewoon, in NL is fysio al moeilijk in het basis pakket.

Ik heb een periode in België gewerkt en had dus ook een Belgische zorgverzekering nodig. Bij zo’n kantoortje binnen gelopen om deze af te sluiten, zei die man “ je premie wordt dan 130 euro…”, ik zei: “ja prima, betaal ik nu ook”. Maakte hij zijn zin af “… per jaar”. Ik heb lachend getekend.

Het probleem in NL is dat er niks meer in het basispakket zit, dus we betalen veel voor heel weinig

I’m adding the ones I have to home assistant, which is what I was planning all along. Maybe add some other brand smart lights, not sure yet which

Awesome timing, was about to add a whole lot of them to my new house, guess that ain’t happening

The problem is not flying itself, it’s the lack of stimulus to make flying green. If governments would actually tax jet fuel, we probably would have figured out hydrogen based airplanes by now. We should stop blaming consumers for wanting to live a good and fulfilling live and start pressuring companies to do what is right. We have the tech, we just don’t have the right “incentive” for these companies.

This is also the case in The Netherlands. I live in a "city" with 15.000 residents, whilst there are "villages" with 100.000. Just because newer places(?) never got the ceremonial title of city.
