Belgian bus manufacturer Van Hool officially declared bankruptcy today, costing at least 1800 jobs. The deciding thing seems to be the Belgian government opting to let BYD build busses because they are cheaper. I just hope it is 1800 people getting unemployment benefits + severance packages cheaper. Top notch thinking, effectively shutting down a company that has the knowledge and capacity to build more public transport, a vital thing for the future 👍 fucking idiots
So it did not get nationalised?
Nope
Bus does not ride.
Car to expensive.
Guess we will walkSorry to hear that. You tried.
Ngl but it is kind of poetic. Of course its a shame that the people will be the losers since the shareholders prob already have massive savings in a financial paradise.
That is what happenened in global south countries when forced to open their markets, the key difference being that the global south did not have the time to develop (nor colonies to accelerate growth through extraction) and belgium did have the time.

Elections for House of Representatives are coming up in my area. All the time, I get blasted with ads arguing in favor or against certain candidates. What stood out to me was this one ad where the candidate was condemned for voting against Israel, and stating that they “refused to condemn terrorism”. And most of the people in my area are uneducated about the whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict and why Hamas is fighting in the first place. It’s really frustrating how they are taking advantage of that fact.
I hope you all have a nice week :D

Skill issue ngl (amazing, hopefully this is a step in the right path)
Went clubbing yesterday with friends and had a blast. Maybe clubbing a day before an exam wasn’t smart, since I have a huge hangover but don’t regret it (yet).
Belgian socdems posterboy Conner Rousseau, who had stepped down after he got caught drunkenly calling for racist motivated violence against minorities, has been reintroduced on the electoral list for the Vooruit party 🫠🫠🫠🫠
Left wing of fascism or something like that right
Oh I remember you talking about him before he also did some sexual harassment
He did. He also tried to bully journalists into not publishing the things he said during his racist rant. Left wing icon.
still don’t get how belgium is a country. and socdems lol
Ugh… reading this brought back some unpleasant memories from my own youth.
I am guessing that they were silent because it should have been pretty obvious that if anybody tried sneaking around, it was highly likely that a patroller or a guard would have spotted them and shot their ass off, and these grandparents gave this kid the silent treatment because it was less rude than yelling or insulting him. Still, I became more depressed reading this.
