Ik las hier gisteren een uitspraak die bij mij bleef malen: er zijn al een tekort aan leerkrachten dus geen leerkrachten met hoofddoek verbieden. Euhm je zou mensen gewoon moeten aanvaarden gelijk ze zijn en niet enkel in tijden van tekort aan arbeidskrachten

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

I find it incredibly sad that James Van Der Beek is auctioning off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia to pay for cancer treatment. This is why we need universal healthcare. What happens to those who have nothing of value to sell? They die, go bankrupt, or both. Healthcare is a basic human right.
