@Leolucassen De vreemdeling opvang in de EU werkt als een magneet en hoe graag je ook de hele wereld wil uitnodigen op je feestje er zullen strengere regels voor toelating moeten komen. En onbegeleide minderjarige is er een van, want dit leidt tot gezinsherenigingen 
@Leolucassen In 2021 waren 183.600 asielzoekers jonger dan 18 jaar. Bijna 13% van hen (23.300) waren niet-begeleide minderjarigen. De meeste niet-begeleide minderjarigen kwamen uit Afghanistan, Syrië en Bangladesh.
Het is beter deze kinderen op te vangen in de regio.

Here's one for you. The government, the media, and the medical establishment didn't panic and abandon all their principles at the start of the COVID pandemic and everything they did was "by the book" and totally necessary.

On February 28, 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci of NIAID, Dr. Clifford Lane of NIH & Dr. Robert Redfield of the CDC published "COVID-19- Navigating the Uncharted" saying the consequences of Covid-19 "may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe influenza."

They further suggest "mitigation techniques" may include isolating ill persons, school closures, and telecommuting where possible. #commonsense
Today I'd like to discuss about the mental model "Map is not the territory."
As Charlie Munger says, "The map is not the territory, and if you start thinking that the map is the territory, you will pay a big price for that."

2/ This means that the way we perceive and interpret the world may not always match reality. A map is just a representation of reality and it's important to keep that in mind when making decisions.

3/ Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet used this mental model to evaluate their investments. They would always look beyond the numbers and do a deep dive into the company's culture, management, and future prospects.

Since there have been a lot of 401(K) propaganda floating around the internet of late. I decided to create a thread 🧵 with the benefits
1. Tax-Deferred Earnings:
When you contribute a percentage of your pay to a 401(k) plan, you immediately start paying less to Uncle Sam. That's because your contribution comes out of your paycheck before income taxes are deducted. That means your taxable income is less.

2. Matching Contributions:
Many employers will match a portion of your savings. It's like passing up free money if you don't participate.

So you're talking to your doc about the use of a ketogenic diet to treat your mental illness, and they basically tell you that they are dangerous. What to do? 🧵(1/10)
Some physicians are misinformed and believe there are concerns over cardiovascular risk, decreased bone health, and strain on the kidneys. (2/10)
However, there is no good evidence to support these claims. In fact, some studies suggest the opposite. Once again, I am sorry for the inconvenience, but you are going to have to educate them and self-advocate. (3/10)

And oddly enough, somehow spared the few unvaccinated students (although this isn't exactly statistically significant by itself but is a bit of an odd result to say the least)

Well, I got 2 messages before 9am from friends telling me they have #COVID19 in their households. And in the 12 mins since, I’ve just heard about 4 more. So Merry Exponential Growth #Omicron #Christmas. 🌲 😫
A quick 🧵 on what to do if that’s you since I’m typing it anyway.
A quick 🧵 on what to do if that’s you since I’m typing it anyway.
1/ The first thing to say is that if someone has #COVID19 symptoms (#Omicron most common: nasal congestion/runny nose, scratchy sore throat, fever, & aches), you have to assume they have it. You may not have a test (urgent cares are still open & do) or they may still be neg.
2/ You, as the person exposed to the one with symptoms, have to assume that you both do & don’t have #Omicron too. Wait, what? 🤔
I mean: assume you could infect others now & take care to avoid exposing them, BUT don’t assume it’s too late for you to avoid getting it.

Anyone who calls a socialist an enemy of ordinary people is an enemy of ordinary people – because socialism is precisely about protecting ordinary people.

“Violence,” you say, “is the last refuge of the incompetent.”
I can only agree. It’s a great saying. Whose is it?
“Isaac Asimov, I think. I’m not sure.”
The science fiction writer?
“Yes.”
I love the guy. He said a lot of great stuff. Have spacesuit. Will travel.

The #Hungarian🇭🇺parliament has just adopted a new Constitutional admendment on marriage&family:
“The foundation of the family is marriage and the parent-child relationship.
[NEW:]The mother is a woman,the father is a man.”
This is how a postmodern rebellion looks like,I guess?

The above-quoted Section 1 also says:
“#Hungary protects the institution of #marriage as the association between a #man and a #woman and the #family as the basis for the survival of the nation."
“Every high civilization decays by forgetting obvious things.” (G.K. Chesterton)

You keep asking me about the conditions of moving to Hungary.🇭🇺I can only encourage these noble intentions! Beautiful architecture,great wines,(almost completely) free of wokeness and (it's becoming a real plus,Western European friends will confirm) it's safe to walk at night too
1/ This kind of deliberately divisive and misleading headline about "woke foods" is transparent and deliberate misinformation. CTV is doing @erinotoole's propaganda work. Telling lies like this, promoting race hate and misinformation ought to be punished.
2/ Long story short: @WholeFoods tried to ban red poppy badges to support its (actually inexcusable) US ban on visible BLM support, and here, the media and their conservative paymasters are: lying, making it out to be 'leftist' #WokeFoods bullies trying to ban poppies.
3/ @fordnation is boycotting @WholeFoods , because "little people" should totally care that the scumbag #premier who won't protect Ontarians from small business and home evictions is boycotting @JeffBezos the insipid, guillotinable billionaire who exploits millions.
Here are some important interventional cardiology algorithms I've compiled over the past couple of years. The good IC/CTO operator always knows what the next step is. Major credit to @esbrilakis for many of these algorithms. Must think systematically about every PCI. 1/
Very nice algorithm on tough to wire vessels. Important techniques to know: Use of SuperCross (only use 120/they tend to straighten out), Hairpin wiring technique, deflection balloon, and probably most importantly, appropriate wire shape. 2/
A suggested algorithm on use of hemodynamic support in PCI. 3/

Police brutality is abhorrent, but #PsyOpBob played no innocent roll. Everybody there knew he wanted to cause trouble, and was calling him out. He brought a helmet, but did he put it on when the cops came? No, but he put on a mask. #BuffaloPD #SocialEngineering #CivilWar

"Don't make a political advisor not respecting the policies he officially advocates political" they say
As in "Where wld the world go if policy makers had to abide by what they advocate"?
Also -since when is it political not to be OK with someone willingly risking to kill others?
