Yeah, that's why I'm convinced it's satire until I see more tweets.

Are you sure it's not that the road design is much safer in the Netherlands, like the video said?
You seem to do exactly what the video is criticising: finding someone at fault and moving on, instead of changing the street design so that a lack of skill does not result in catastophic crashes.
Before commenting, you should know there are 2 types of solar panels:
- the ones owned by people (which may or may not feed into the grid)
- the ones owned by corporations
The article is probably about the 2nd kind (if you can only sell energy when there is a surplus, your company will fail), while the twitter user makes it seem like the 1st kind was meant. We probably need to built more of both types. Identify what type the other commenters are talking about before getting in any arguments here.
Potatoes are ridiculously cheap here right now (0,60€ per kg), so...
Home-made mashed potatoes with pumpkin. I've eaten instant mashed potatoes all my life, so I expected it to be more of a hassle than it was. Could eat this an entire month, its a meal to me.
There are like 4 days a year everyone just puts their old sofas, broken TVs and other junk outside to be collected by a garbage truck the next day. As this furniture is mostly usable, people in white vans go around to collect the most valuable stuff, which makes up most of the traffic in villages on those days and causes old people to complain about Polish immigrants.
The village children also have a look around if the weather is nice. Village adults don't, not because they are above it, but since there is a genuine risk a neighbour you've known for decades will sue you for stealing; the garbage does belong to them still as the courts have determined.
Edit: Sorry for forgetting the most important part.
I have nothing but contempt for this business model.
Really? I'm also not sure why exactly he's being downvoted, but only bc there's many possible reasons.
- There's no way transit-stabbings are a real problem, anywhere. Even in the grungiest places, it has to be a fake problem like elevator cables snapping or plane crashes and it's all fear-mongering.
- You can make these comments everywhere and they're always unhelpful. Oh, a "bus is high capacity" post? Yeah, but they're unsafe here, I'll pass. Oh, a "bus is super safe" post? Yeah, but they're very infrequent here, I'll pass. Oh, a "bus is super frequent post"? Yeah, but we only have small ones, I'll pass.
- The comment implies smug dismissal, yet that problem and the post's problem have the same solution: more investments in public transport.
I'm starting to develop a vigor for public transit to match the one forced on us for car infrastructure in the 60s. Bigger, taller, more, I want 3 bus lanes and a tram line to any town in the country. We can do no wrong taking back all the space we gave to the car, as long as the garbage truck fits on the street, car users can share 1 lane both directions. Take their parking, take their license for rolling stops and using their phone, gift them e-bikes.
Make transit free, let the highways rot, expand the railways. Sorry for that pothole, all the money was used up by rail.
Just anything better than we have now. If we have to act fast and break things, so be it.

What tense is that? Past Titleshortend by 3 letters?
You claimed that lack of skill is the primary reason. How about you back that thing up before claiming that the video is wrong?
We can argue that some more regulation is needed, sure, but that is missing the point. It's not like the Netherlands only has good drivers, it's that a bad driver can rarely deal heavy damage because the infrastructure was well designed. You cannot remove all bad drivers from the road, the best driver in the world makes bad decisions if they're stressed and late.
You can blame the driver for making a bad decision and see the casualties as unfortunate. Or you can see the fault in the infrastructure, which made what could have been a fender-bender into a head-on collision, and see the casualties as preventable. Those views are not exclusive, but only the latter will actually prevent accidents.
