  • I live in the Netherlands. Happy? Sure. Could always be better.

    For how it is in the Netherlands politics wise, it’s quite a mess. The biggest party is led by a rightwing nutjob who supports Israel and doesn’t give a shit about Ukraine. And main focus is Immigrants bad blablabla. That party isn’t in complete control though since they have to work with 3 other parties to get a majority so that is at least something.

    We had 2000 explosions at peoples houses last year. Which is insane. Guns aren’t legal so people import heavy fireworks from italy (which are basically grenades) and blow it up in front of their house, or burn down their cars, to threaten them I guess… They pay teenagers to do it for them. So the real culprits never get caught. I saw 3 cars burn down in my neighbourhood in the last few years.

    Housing prices are insane. Probably in most well running countries atm. I don’t have high hopes of getting a house anytime soon. And my rent just keeps going up.
