CD&V-minister Jo Brouns: ‘Ambtenaren moeten opstaan met idee dat 7 miljoen Vlamingen hun werkgever zijn’
De Vlaamse regering moet haar beslissingen collectief beter uitdragen, vindt Jo Brouns, hoofdonderhandelaar voor CD&V tijdens het slot van het begrotingsoverleg. Rond de besparingen op de overheid zelf neemt hij alvast het voortouw. ‘De allergrootste uitdaging is de mentaliteit van de ambtenaren in relatie met de burgers en de bedrijven wijzigen.’

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
In 2025, he made 1,794x more.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

1/x Captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama is taken hostage in a lifeboat, and US Navy SEALs end it after five days. The snipers dealt with the guys in the lifeboat. The Belgians dealt with the guy at the top of the whole trade. A thread.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
