Photo of a black bird with red wing facing right while perched amongst small twigs with beak open and with whisps of golden breath leaving trails in the cold morning air

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.
An abandoned building by the beach where a window overlooks the sea. The water through the window resembles a painting, so someone has scrawled Free Rothko on the wall.

Paul De Grauwe is professor aan de London School of Economics. Hij gelooft niet dat de begrotingssanering breed zal gedragen worden door de bevolking, door de privileges voor de mensen met hogere inkomsten. ‘Ook het vertrouwen in de politiek zal verder geërodeerd worden.’
Het wegwerken van de privileges voor hogere inkomens zou het begrotingstekort snel doen dalen

Zonder loonsubsidies zou de brutowinstmarge van Belgische bedrijven tussen 1996 en 2024 gestegen zijn van 36% naar 40%. Mét de loonsubsidies is de stijging van de winstmarge dubbel zo groot.

Caricature of an old woman trying to appear young. Inspiration for Leonardo da Vinci & (much later) John Tenniel. But originally here by Quentin Metsys in around 1513.
