  • A salary maximum (as per the article) of 79k USD per year seems low. This as the accident rate amongst longshoremen can be significantly higher than average. It’s often not reported on enough (at least in Europe) but significant injuries and deaths happen often enough. This partly because (obviously) a mistake has way more consequences on a terminal vs e.g. working in an office.




  • Do more for the poor.

    It’s really that simple.

    Netherlands had a right wing government. They messed up greatly. People voted even more right because “obviously” the previous government was actually left wing.

    Perception matters a lot for a large group of people.

    And it’s funny because when certain parties make promises there interpretation differs depending if they like the party or not.

    E.g. making promises to improve things: who will pay for it? E.g. left wing is spending money they don’t have, or they care too much about lazy people.

    If a right wing party makes a promise to improve things and financially it is pretty much certain it’ll not work out: don’t be negative, just saying that because of x/y/z.

    It’s too easy to blame left wing parties for what is happening. Pretty sure there’s various causes, and people often aren’t logical or rational.
