The left trying to destroy the influence of a plutocrat is pretty normal

Buying from other economies does two things. One, you have access to their expertise/efficiency.

Not everyone will have invested in the same industry.

Will miss out on cheap labour. Cheap resources.

Don't be dumb though, selling us USD for our products isn't just "printing paper". We use those USD (mostly we sell the debt to china) to buy USA companies. It's capitalism after all.

Social liberalism, social democracy, market socialism. State owned enterprises to protect the interest of the citizens.

Those all have their place.

Authoritarian tankies? Their place is the garbage bin

My country Belgium has the world record longest period without a government because they actually had to compromise with eachother instead of having eachother killed.

This time they had to force it through, spent 40 hours in the parlement to finally come to an agreement.

Aight, let's continue. You're tougher than the other fella. You literally see the video of a Chinese speaking fella beating two scared submissive kids. Nah, it ain't going to take it with ya.

Bring it on buddy, I'll crack ya.

I'm curious which countries you folks live in tho

You actually admitted that a Chinese citizen did something bad, for Chinese gain.

That's all I wanted. Good day to you, sir.

Ah don't worry, just some fun stuff. I've seen a lot of the world, not as naive as you. Have you seen what they do in Brazil? I have, it ain't that nice.

The video is pretty soft core.

Congo is still using Belgian railroads and trains, we sell old trucks to there. We buy oil from Nigeria which funds their economy. We help east Congo against Rwanda.

you wish to be at both sides of the argument and win twice.

You know what 1850s Belgium was? Well lil buddy, it's where Marx wrote communist manifesto.

Look at us now, rich and not communist.

EU gives 20 billion euros in aid to Africa every year.

Showing me that china forgave 3,4 billion USD in interest between 2000 and 2019 is peanuts.

 

If your company allows you to use your end of the year bonus to do an e-bike lease, then I'd highly advise it.

You get to use the value of your end of the year bonus in advance by already having the e-bike. On top of this you won't pay any personal income tax, which will be the highest tax that you pay because this is the top bracket of your year income.

On top of this you don't pay the 13,07% social contribution as employee.

Now the good part. You also get to use the 25% to 32,4% employer social contribution on top of the gross wage.

This turns a 1500 euros bonus into a near 4500 euros bonus.

On top of this you get paid every day to bike to work. I get 10 euros per day. Which ends up being more than the end of year bonus I otherwise would get on my bank account. Better yet, the government takes 1,5 year to pay back the taxes that you paid too much, with the biking compensation you get paid the amount of money monthly. Removing a rent free loan to the government from existence.

There are amazing European E-bikes. Your budget can be up to 12000 euros.

I took the R&M Multicharger2 gt rohloff. Brilliant quality. I'd recommend everyone in this position to do the same.

It's more tax friendly than having a company car. It's just so cheap. I'm saving 6000 euros a year thanks to this.

Only downside: you will be locked down at your employer for 3 years unless you find another employer that is willing to continue the lease.

 

Built up a decent safety buffer and have decided to put 2000 euros every month automatically on an European accumulated ETF.

Which is the ETF you are or would invest in?
