It's a good result in that Wilders has suffered, and his chances of being in the next coalition are down. But it's a bad result for the left.
Left votes moving to the centre looks like the main change going on here, which after two years of a failing right/far-right coalition is really not good.

They have money. There is childcare in the US for people who can afford it, I assume.

Thanks. I'm no climate scientist, but it's not so reassuring that the worst tipping points are only around 3C, since earlier tipping points may well push us there anyway. Being "directionally correct" is still terrifying.
