At least you can join us at FOSDEM 😅

FOSDEM? 😅

https://archive.fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6452-nostr-notes-and-other-stuff-transmitted-by-relays/ beginning of this year there was a Nostr stand and talk. We are currently applying for 2026

Cool cool! But you’re applying for what exactly then?

Now for a dev room, stand and talk

Oh haha shit, I won’t apply for that 😅

Higher taxes means better roads right... right?

Anakin? Right?

We are also one of the richest countries in the world with a very high quality of life.

(Not an excuse to rest and not tackle the issue of high tax and high waste of public money.)

Note that this is about the income tax. I.e. how much we tax good citizens that work everyday.

We don’t have any tax on capital gain. So if you have money, you can make money with it and contribute nothing.

That’s broken.

It’s changing next year with the introduction of a *checks notes* 10% tax.

Capital gains tax is unnecessary imho. Also, these dumb adjustments to the “renvovation subsidy”. Belgium does have too much taxation.

Even the US has one (20% on long term capital gains).

What’s your rationale?

(Agreed. We should stop most of those subsidies.)

Sounds a little propagandist- ish. They must have washed your brain really heard beginning in Kindergarden. And you believe that nonsense. All the socialist distribution diseases 🦠 that you consider as the source of your “wealth” will be the reason for demise of that society. I am telling you that as someone who was born in a communist country.

Lol it's true for most ppl.. they wil defend the only thing they know even if it's evil. Propaganda works. Always the same excuse 'it's worse somewhere else'. They all have 30 year loans and nowhere to turn (unless they would study some btc and DCA ofc). I've been around the world and I can say for sure that a 'more wealthy' nation doesn't make it a better place. It's fake pride of weak man.
