Maar ik moet bekennen dat ik überhaupt weinig online koop:
Nieuwe boeken —> lokale boekhandel.
Tweedehands —> Kringloopwinkel, antiquariaat ter plaatse, natuurlijk ook bij @boekenvoormensen.bsky.social
En als toch online, dan: Marktplaats, Catawiki, Boekwinkeltjes of Antiqbook.

ik hoor zojuist dat brandstof over drie jaar wel 2,50 kan kosten. Dan wordt de rest ook allemaal weer duurder... leg dat naast de ontwikkelingen en banenverlies door AI en een heleboel mensen gaan het niet makkelijk krijgen. Maar ik hoor de politiek hier niet over
"De paniek was niet geheel zonder reden. Vroemvroempartij VVD was in een kabinet gaan zitten met de klimaatontkenners van PVV en de rodedieselverkopers van BBB. En met het NSC van Peter Omtzigt, de man die als Kamerlid de strijd tegen subsidies op EV’s had aangevoerd..."

Het was een prima jaar voor de elektrische auto, ondanks huiver en onzekerheid
De verkoop van EV’s zou instorten, klonk het begin 2025 in de media. De cijfers vertellen een ander verhaal. In de tweede jaarhelft ging het juist helemaal los.

Trump isn’t predictable or consistent, but this particular action *would* be consistent with the emergence of a G2+1 order where Washington and Beijing, with Moscow as a junior partner, give each other free rein in their purported spheres of influence.
This will go down well in Moscow and Beijing. Goodbye, international order.

America was not founded on religious freedom. It was founded by strict fundamentalists who could not enforce their laws in the old world. Religious freedom is politically useful but all fundamentalists consider it to be blasphemy.

Ukraine has been destroying most of the oil and gas infrastructure of one of the largest oil and gas exporters: Russia. US bombed Iran
In the 1970-2020 period that would have sent global oil prices into $150+ per barrel territory
The fact that oil prices have gone down means solar + batteries win

Global fundamentals:
- China to greatly reduce oil imports further in ‘26
- ditto for African nations + India & Pakistan + SE Asian nations
- Solar & batteries capex is almost cheaper than simply the importing cost of fossil fuels

Bragging about how little sleep you live on is like bragging about how much Styrofoam you eat.
It's interesting to look at the careers that push this mentality through strongest, and ask whether the people in them seem to be normal, well adjusted, non-evil people.
