N-VA stelde vorige week vrijdag haar economisch programma voor. Wat tijdens die media-interventies opviel was dat er bepaalde spontane aannames steeds terugkeerden. Aannames die mythes zijn. In deze bijdrage worden vier van dergelijke mythes doorprikt. De Belgische overheid wil boetes uitdelen aan mensen die een slaapplaats beschikbaar stellen via AirbnB en Couchsurfing. Het lijkt wel op de laatste krampachtige stuiptrekkingen van Kafka 1.0.

Meet Mr. Money Mustache Apr 6, 2011 “What do you mean you retired at 30?” This is a blog about money. We’re going to cover a lot of ground and make plenty of amusing side trips into lifestyle and culture issues, but when it boils down to it, we are talking about money, and the freedom it can give you. John Pilger: NSA-lekken tonen nieuw oprukkend fascisme In zijn bekende recht-toe-recht-aan stijl klaagt de Brits-Australische journalist John Pilger het sluipend fascisme aan dat door de recente NSA-lekken werd blootgelegd. Dit is echter al veel langer aan de gang. Aan ons om ons er bij neer te leggen of er iets aan te doen. Propaganda wordt ‘public relations’

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez met Greta Thunberg: 'Hope is contagious' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez enters a boardroom at her constituency office in Queens, New York, after a short delay which, a political aide hopes, hasn’t been caused by a constituent waylaying her in the corridor. (“They can get really excited to meet her.”) Greta Thunberg is in her home in Sweden, her father testing the technology for the video link while the teenager waits in the background. The activists have never met nor spoken but, as two of the most visible climate campaigners in the world, they are keenly aware of each other. Thunberg, now 16, catapulted to fame last year for skipping school every Friday to stand outside the Swedish parliament, protesting against political inaction over the climate crisis and sparking an international movement, the school strike for climate, in which millions of other children followed suit. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez It’s such an honour to meet you!

Dr. Scott Reuben, een voormalig wetenschappelijk onderzoeker voor Pfizer, heeft toegegeven meegewerkt te hebben aan onjuiste en uit de duim gezogen onderzoeksresultaten van tientallen studies. Dr. fastcodesign Is The US Military The Real ‘Terrorist?’ Todays mainstream media is being viewed under a ‘critical thinking’ microscope more now than ever before. As we begin to realize the various agendas each news corporation acts upon when reporting news, we begin to see through the different political styles available and look more critically at what is really happening. I titled this article the way I did not to point fingers or label anyone, but to encourage us to think about things in a new light. I feel guilt anytime I see a young girl, like the one I grabbed by the arm and dragged into the street. We were told we were fighting terrorists.

Business + Innovation On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs Ever had the feeling that your job might be made up? That the world would keep on turning if you weren’t doing that thing you do 9-5? David Graeber explored the phenomenon of bullshit jobs for our recent summer issue – everyone who’s employed should read carefully… On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. In the year 1930, John Maynard Keynes predicted that, by century’s end, technology would have advanced sufficiently that countries like Great Britain or the United States would have achieved a 15-hour work week. There’s every reason to believe he was right. Investigative Reporter By Greg Palast for Vice Magazine When a little birdie dropped the End Game memo through my window, its content was so explosive, so sick and plain evil, I just couldn't believe it. The Memo confirmed every conspiracy freak's fantasy: that in the late 1990s, the top US Treasury officials secretly conspired with a small cabal of banker big-shots to rip apart financial regulation across the planet. When you see 26.3% unemployment in Spain, desperation and hunger in Greece, riots in Indonesia and Detroit in bankruptcy, go back to this End Game memo, the genesis of the blood and tears. The Treasury official playing the bankers' secret End Game was Larry Summers. Today, Summers is Barack Obama's leading choice for Chairman of the US Federal Reserve, the world's central bank.
