Anything better than having to fire people, but the application for a COVID wage cost allowance feels uncomfortable. Never been dependent, then not now, right? On the other hand, if under pressure even a liberal prime minister leans to the left with an omnipresent government, then that gives food for thought.
A crisis gives a socialist turn, we are now learning. And brings people back into their group. The Dutch are repatriated from all over the world, borders are restored. I came across Kennedy’s acceptance speech, about the dawn of a new era. About the border of unknown opportunities and dangers, the border of unfulfilled hopes and unfulfilled threats and about unanswered questions of poverty and excess. Worth re-reading the New Frontier section. Lyrical like Americans can. That was 1961 and a symbolic step towards the first man on the moon.
Every border is a new beginning. After these Easter days, we will also start working fresh with our office to make the Netherlands a bit more beautiful and bigger. Onwards!
