The author wrote that, according to her, hardly any forest would remain in the nature reserve Huis Ter Heide, in the municipality of Loon op Zand. The depicted road was, in her opinion, one of the many access routes for the installation of 24 high-voltage masts. She argued that after the installation, the trees under the cables would also be felled. She noted that cycling in the forest was prohibited because cyclists would damage nature. #natuur #bosbescherming #duurzaamheid (translated)

Mirjam152 challenged the reasoning that a lower VAT rate cost the government a lot of money. She compared it to the income a landlord misses out on by asking for a lower rent and sarcastically suggested that the VAT should then be raised to 30 percent and inheritance and gift taxes to 100 percent. According to her, people were already paying more than enough tax. The researchers defended a higher VAT rate for, among others, hairdressers, bicycle mechanics, and plasterers with the argument that a tight labor market could make services more expensive due to insufficient staff availability. Mirjam152 called that reasoning flawed and accused the researchers of having a political agenda and pandering to the government and the cabinet. #BTW #Belastingen #Overheid (translated)

Symphony mocked Dilan Yesilgöz and wrote that she had officially declared Russia an enemy. According to unconfirmed reports in the mail, she had attempted to invade Russia with three VVD brochures, a bicycle pump, and an inflatable Leopard tank. Mark Rutte reportedly asked from Brussels if someone could remove her batteries, while Vladimir Putin, according to Symphony, sat under his desk in the Kremlin out of fear. The author compared Yesilgöz to Napoleon and Rambo and suggested that a press conference from her would even make peace doves ask for bulletproof vests. Symphony also contrasted the alleged ambition to conquer Moscow with what the author described as the VVD's inability to get the Netherlands in order. #DilanYesilgöz #politiek #VVD (translated)

Jolande directed her message to D66, CDA, VVD, and PRO, sharing the story of Hans, a retired firefighter from Westland. He wrote that during a cycling trip through Overijssel and Gelderland, he visited farms to see for himself how farmers worked. Hans said that he did not see overcrowded pastures, mega-farms, or smoking farms, but rather well-maintained fields and meadows. According to him, a farmer and his wife welcomed him kindly and explained that they had been making adjustments in response to government measures for years. He described the farm as a place where attention was given to animals and land. The farmer showed him, among other things, a biogas installation and milking installations, and explained what investments the measures had required. Hans wrote that his visit had increased his appreciation for farmers. He felt that the Netherlands should cherish its farmers and feared that otherwise food would be imported that had been sprayed with agricultural chemicals or genetically modified. He also mentioned seeing new houses, which he considered expensive, bungalows, and large residences along the road. He wondered whether farmland intended for housing or nature areas was being sold at a profit to wealthy buyers. Hans wrote that he had little confidence in leaders who, in his opinion, lacked sufficient practical experience with farms. He emphasized that he had no knowledge of agriculture himself, but that his visit had given him a positive life lesson. #Boeren #Platteland #Duurzaamheid (translated)
