Dit is op maar één punt een verbetering t.o.v. het kabinet-Wilders: de vorm.

En daar zit nu juist het venijn. Het kabinet-Jetten kan nog véél meer schade doen dan hun voorgangers, door zich 'netjes' en 'rechtsstatelijk' te gedragen.

In case we thought that ecological disasters were a special talent of modernity, let’s talk about how the 13th-century peat trade of Norfolk made it permanently vulnerable to flooding, including 3 catastrophic floods just since 2013.

So it is likely household gas prices will rise still and gas-gobbling industry (steel, aluminium, chemicals) will lose competitiveness i.e. rise prices, at the same time deflation in China lowers prices. Morally correct, economically sound? We'll find out.

Many have asked what we should do and it's hard to know. But this approach is not the way out of this.
In response, and as chatbots continue to advance, companies such as Turnitin and GPTZero have upgraded their AI detection software, aiming to catch writing that’s gone through a humanizer. They also launched applications that students can use to track their browser activity or writing history so they can prove they wrote the material, though some humanizers can type out text that a user wants to copy and paste in case a student’s keystrokes are tracked.
