John Deere got this video taken off our YouTube for two weeks. It took our lawyers reaching out to YouTube to get it back up.
The video lays out how a handful of corporations took control of the agriculture industry, bankrupting farmers and screwing us all over.

Voor het eerst berekend: Oekraïense arbeiders geven onze economie miljardenboost, en de impact kan nóg groter worden
Dat veel gevluchte Oekraïners hier een baan hebben, is langer bekend. Nu is het voor eerst berekend hoeveel dat de Nederlandse economie eigenlijk oplevert: miljarden euro’s per jaar. En de impact kan nóg groter worden, aldus onderzoekers.

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Since cameras in mobiles, we record our lives more than ever. And I, too, wonder whether we/people are in danger of missing the moment while viewing it on/through a screen. And then there are cute videos like this one that one day will bring the past to life. 🫶

Scotland’s islands are the most beautiful in the world (not that I’m biased 😉).
I also love CalMac ferries and the brilliant staff that keep them running.
Despite wild weather at times, over 9 in 10 sailings run as planned - and we’re investing in new ferries to make the service more reliable.

The Panama Papers showed us most ultra-rich use offshore: we find they differ a LOT in secrecy strategies due to country of origin.
