Dead and violence in USA President Trump says Minnesota's mayor is a weak person but I don't think so as he dared to fire four of his police officers after one of them put his knees for about 8 minutes on Mr George Floyd, a black man, his throat until he was death. The president didn't dare or didn't want to condemn the officers while in a tweet threatens that looters will be shot (such tweets should not be deleted as some claim but instead warn people but also intelligence agencies so they can intervene).   Indeed, violent clashes broke out after the video made the arrest public. It is even worse because Mr Floyd was already handcuffed and thus limited in his movements while he didn't seem to fight against his arrest. Other videos suggests the knee on someone's neck is likely a normal way to restraint someone until they are handcuffed (and thus not until they are dead) but can no longer be used. Thus, this incident will further increase distrust between...

Again a climate march Sunday, 27/01/2019. Another march in favour of actions to halt climate change. As the month before, the weather was terrible but still the number of people who turned up was amazing, about 70.000 because people are sick of excuses from certain politicians and powerful leading figures in industries who slowdown necessary investments in newer and cleaner energy but also in less energy-demanding products, investments that will create work. And thus, instead of only complaining without doing something, people go out and show they agree with politicians who take actions to encourage them to continue. Of course, on condition everyone and certainly the rich contribute and not only the masses of ordinary people so they impoverish while the wealthy become even richer; then indeed we may fall together. Although climate change skeptics say it's only a natural cycle and humans are not to blame. Indeed, some politicians still don't seem to understand the urgenc...

What is going on at this moment? Tomorrow, Belgium unions will organise a demonstration against the decisions taken by the almost new government. Earlier this week, there was a massive strike from public workers in the UK and many people came on the streets, quite unusable for the UK. These people protest against the many changes affecting every ones lives. E.g. the age of retirement in the UK increases from 60 till 66 (while many claim at the same time pensioners' income will go down). Of course, this is a gigantic step and those who could nearly retire don't want to work an extra six years. But the main problem is that, although we knew the average age of the people increases, politicians never dared to make the necessary reforms earlier and introduce them gradually so everyone could adjust to the changing system. Now, the changes are too big. I always thought of retiring at 70. One of the reasons why politicians didn't dare to modernise the pension was because many w...
