on: Tax, healthcare, immigration: why Dutch people voted for Geert Wilders
Call me naïve, but what's the point of 'more power'? And 'better deals'? Didn't we have enough food on the table before the EU? Sure, striving for better is fine, but enough is enough right? And if you've build an economy that's favorable for everyone (as the Dutch have. Especially knowledge. See ASML) you don't need to convince other countries to do business with you.
I just don't see the added value of the EU. What I see now is a wealth transfer form the Dutch to the 'poor' EU countries. If you don't believe me, checkout the pension fund management of the Dutch. (more than 1000 billion euro 'disappeared' over the last 10 years and shows up in Greece, Italy, Spain. Or as windmill. Or a rainbow flag.). Man, I get angry even talking about it. Wasting the future of my children.

Why does the EU have to limit trade? Importing energy? Can't you just leave that to the countries themselves? That's my whole point: the EU was never a good plan.

See my reply above. My whole point is that the EU was never a good plan.

Give the UK (the people in the UK) the freedom to do business with whomever they want. Without 'bullying' border rules. But no, EU said: You left us and that makes us angry.
My whole point is: there should never have bin a EU. What was wrong with the agreement between countries?

Quote: Again this regulation comes from the EU so NL can't just change it
This is -I think- (one of) the main reasons people voted PVV. We (the Dutch people) can't even make their own decisions! And when things fall apart (and they are: housing, inflation, too much environmentalism, declining healthcare, etc) this is exactly what we need: make decisions to fix this. But we 'can't' because of EU. This is extremely angering and fueled the rise of PVV. And don't get me wrong: I'm one of them. And no, I'm not 'far right'. I just want to fix things. If you can't take care of yourself, you can't help others.

BitWarden as Home Assistant Addon. Make sure to also run the 'Google Backup' addon for HA to have a backup for your passwords. Running it for 2+ years now (Raspberry Pi 3). Works like a charm.

on: Massive Update To Retyped
Have you seen '
https://github.com/aspnet/blazor'? Looks (very) promising. I haven't used Retyped myself, but from the looks of it Blazor does more or less the same thing but maybe better?
