    “Ukraine is evil for dutch taxpayers”

    Ukraine might be the most efficient user of taxpayer money considering we spent 2 million euros renaming the “ministry of safety and justice” into “ministry of justice and safety”

    Saying this as a dutch taxpayers im happy when it gets spend on helping Ukraine.

    (Also propagandists like to think that when x amout of money is being send to Ukraine its train cars full of cash, when in fact its military equipment)

            It’s very inefficient with lots of red tape, processes to follow and meetings with designers, lawyers and managers before the work can start. And then every change must be agreed on by different departments. Each person touching this project will write their hours onto the bill.

                Our government is very good at meetings and discussions. We have meetings about planning meetings. Its ridiculous if you ask me.

                I’ve had some severe mental problems in the past, relying on government assistance for a while. And the amount of talks that are involved with any decision that has to be made, its enough to drive you crazy if you wherent already.

      Of the eight demonstrators who showed up in Amsterdam, five were Dutch and two were Russian. The identity of one remains unverified by the Kyiv Independent.

    Taxpayer? We’re comfortable in our homes with our families being safe.

    Our economies are stable, our infrastructure is protected. We can produce every day.

    Our benefits far outweigh the taxes we pay.
