2 corrections: 1: "when you feel sick... to bad: you go to work". NO: when you feel sick you call in sick. Unlike people in the US, Dutch people can stay home when they are sick so they won't infect other people at work. 2: "The Dutch are among the hardest working people". Again NO... we are among the most efficient working people. We do in 36 hours what people in some countries can not even manage in 60 hours. That has it's origin in workers being able to speak up and bringing in actual improvements rather than always having to do what the boss says.
Mate, you stole the words right out of my mouth. Haha But for real, just correct it. So everyone knows, with the current clip you paint a totally untrue picture and there for misrepresenting it. Everyone should learn that: you work to live, not live to work. With a right balans you'll get more done and can spend time with friends, relaxing family or wat you wanna do. Relaxation, good relationship with family and friends help you focus more on your work. If you are sick you take a couple days off. And everyone expects you to "uit zieken" sickening the illness out. What means you stay a "healthy" day longer home so you can be sure the sickness won't come up again. Therefor you got better functioning and healthy people, who can do a better job. So those things should be changed so you can let the world know that you can work les and stil get your quotas.

No it didn't start in the 17th century and the Dutch share of the European trade was far too big, more than half of all of it, for the VOC to have a siginificant economic impact.

Would like to see statistics that truly matter. Simply cut off the top 2% richest and 3% poorest of each country and show what the GDP of 95% of the population is. Because we all know that in some countries the top 1% cashes in over half the countries income. Those people usually do not spend their money locally, but international, while in fact the 'man in the street' earns half what is displayed in the statistics. If you do this, the Middle East countries, East Asian countries and American countries will drop significantly, while European counties will climb in the charts. Wealth is far more spread in Europe. Same goes for education, heath care, social security, housing, etc. While in mentioned countries the happy few lack nothing, big parts of the population live in poverty. And though rich people will eat more expensive food and drink more expensive beverages, there is a physical limit on consumption. So I would like to see which wealth 95% has, what they can afford, which standard of living do they have.

I'm a Dutch poor. I live off about a €1000 a month. Because of this I get Government support on rent and healthcare. I can't buy much new stuff. And still I'm richer than most around the world. I have my own place, a computer, enough to eat, (just enough) heating. Travel, and restaurants need careful consideration. I have no car, but in my city everything is within bicycle range, and public transport for the rest is awesome!

Hm, Dutchie here. 2 side notes: 1. The Dutch are also a tax haven. And I bet that includes some scamming. 2. The Dutch are NOT the hardest workers. Look at other videos praising the Dutch work-life balance. But they rank among the most productive per hour. That's why in the USA many underpaid people work much less hard. When paid an unfair amount per hour one will put in more hours to do the same amount of work. It's a sad necessity ;)
Long term thinking (also known as child friendly thinking) is the main reason of our stable growth. Patiently waiting for opportunity to arrive is not a thing here. We rather create opportunity ourselves. (and opportunity is always everywhere to be found) Another thing is that every skilled person is welcome to join our economy and become part of the Dutch success story. Our taxes are high but they physically and visibly flows back to us, one way or another. No Military Industrial Complex_ to suck away 720 _billion_ dollars of taxpayer's money out of the economy every year without much to show for it. Lack of racial prejudice and taking care of our poor and stupid are also pillars on which our success is based. And last but not least of course, we have a free and unbiased public school system to serve our future needs and, just as essential, we maintain a humane and uniform healthcare system to guarantee long term continuity in nation-wide growth.
In contrast to what is send in 6:50, there are no significant investments in Education in the Netherland. Actually, it has been a huge problem that those investments where promissed about 8 years ago and never actually got paid.
In terms of trade, look into the trade network of the Hansen cities mid 15th century. Apart from trade there is a rich history in science and technology today ASML is the market leader for chip manufactoring and of strategie global importance. There even is a ban in EUV machine for delivering to China.
Don’t where you got the idea that Dutch people are expected to work when they are sick. It’s not true. You stay at home. And of course your salary is also paid during the day you are sick. For a year, I believe. We also do not work hard. Most people prefer part time jobs, which the employer must give you if asked for. One part imo is that the Dutch are very good in working together, in an egalitarian society. The agricultural situation is the result of farmers, university, government and banks work together after WO2. The university did research on real farms together with the farmers. They still doing that. The other part is that we have a long tradition of applied science, applied art and other applied stuff.
Being Dutch myself I would like to add that the the Netherlands could have been entirely self sufficient as far as energy goes, Unfortunately we are not. There are two reasons for this, one is the Dutch political climate that as good as blocked nuclear energy and (although it doesn’t look like it) underinvestment in green energy. As things stand now a quarter to a third of energy used in the Netherlands is green, over half of that because of private homeowners investing in Solar panels. I suspect the lack of investment by the government has to with protecting its tax base ( high taxes on energy) Which is causing problems now due to the Ukraine war and having to import from unstable sources. Shell, by the way is no longer a Dutch company they moved to England as a tax evasion exercise. Plus I think you underestimate the Dutch services industry, banking and insurance,expertise on watermanagement and shipping. Technical innovation Philips is huge on medical hardware and of course it’s former division ASML that produces machines to build high end chips. Not unimportant is the Netherlands close connection to Flanders ( Belgium) if Flanders was added to the Netherlands the combination would be (is) in the top ren of the worlds richest counties.
The energy shock/inflation wave of 2022 have put a full stop to the Dutch aluminium and greenhouse agricultural sectors. Neither are likely to survive for long.

We have a robust (If slowly in the process of being torn down) social system. When I am sick, as I am right now (Insane flue epidemic. WTB Soup) I call in sick. Working when you're ill is stupid.

We Dutch recognise us less and less in all this positive information from foreign people. We can not afford a warm house anymore, millions Dutch people. Cold shower has many benefits, but we have to use it. We despise the Euro, both the EU. We are getting poor, and have a corrupt government and state. Anger grows, while billions are exported to pointless goals, and people have to line up for food handouts, standing for two hours in line, to get some day to day groceries, also people with jobs. The Netherlands is hollowed out by EU and WEF puppets, and it will take a while to rebuild our country. To rub it in you put a picture of our so called king on this video, not a king at all, a freemason traitor WEF puppet. The rich part of our country fight the rest with a woke word game, also quite annoying. I make it straightforward Dutch explicit, The Netherlands is gone, our capital sits for 1,400 billion euro in pensions, it used to be 1,800 billion. And that capital sits in companies like BlackRock. So basically it is gone, 1.4 trillion, that would be a 26 trillion on the scale of the USA, I doubt it if we will see this money back, we are poor.
yes which is not weird it has nothing to do with the EU. This is part of the war with Russia that we are in that makes oil and gas more expensive. You are just a little brainwashed. This is a problem that is going on in the world that things are expensive. Poor people are everywhere.

I'm a Dutch poor. I live off about a €1000 a month. Because of this I get Government support on rent and healthcare. I can't buy much new stuff. And still I'm richer than most around the world. I have my own place, a computer, enough to eat, (just enough) heating. Travel, and restaurants need careful consideration. I have no car, but in my city everything is within bicycle range, and public transport for the rest is awesome!
I am February 1st (Aquarius Sun in its own 11st house, Aquarius Moon in X MC, Aries Aries Ascendant/Rising, etc) been living around the world all alone since childhood, I am a complete multiracial multilingual.
No more very poor in everything western world for me, thanks ;) Real Rich never colonize ;) europeans/americans/western people in general were and will always be truly poor in everything, very narrow minded very dumb frogs stuck inside their tiny very poor boxes their entire life, sorry I am far above you all, I am far above your league.
No more abroad for me, no where better in everything in the world than in Indonesia.
Was a right decision to be back in this truly richest nature in the world Indonesia 12 years ago.
@@RIZFERD Hmm, much is true except the Russians, Americans, Swedes, French, Indians, Chinese, Japanese etc all think they are the best in the world. Often that is a century of state propaganda, uniting tribes into one tribe, and seeking to close your eyes for what your elite gets away with. Because hey, elsewhere is worse.

Hm, Dutchie here. 2 side notes: 1. The Dutch are also a tax haven. And I bet that includes some scamming.
2. The Dutch are NOT the hardest workers. Look at other videos praising the Dutch work-life balance. But they rank among the most productive per hour. That's why in the USA many underpaid people work much less hard. When paid an unfair amount per hour one will put in more hours to do the same amount of work. It's a sad necessity ;)
Work smart, not hard.
The tax haven point is no longer valid after many measures have been taken since 2018.
Long term thinking (also known as child friendly thinking) is the main reason of our stable growth.
Patiently waiting for opportunity to arrive is not a thing here. We rather create opportunity ourselves. (and opportunity is always everywhere to be found) Another thing is that every skilled person is welcome to join our economy and become part of the Dutch success story.
Our taxes are high but they physically and visibly flows back to us, one way or another. No Military Industrial Complex_ to suck away 720 _billion_ dollars of taxpayer's money out of the economy every year without much to show for it.
Lack of racial prejudice and taking care of our poor and stupid are also pillars on which our success is based. And last but not least of course, we have a free and unbiased public school system to serve our future needs and, just as essential, we maintain a humane and uniform healthcare system to guarantee long term continuity in nation-wide growth.
Investments in education? I don't see them anywhere.
Also dont forget the best DJ's in the world!!
In contrast to what is send in 6:50, there are no significant investments in Education in the Netherland.
Actually, it has been a huge problem that those investments where promissed about 8 years ago and never actually got paid.
en we lopen ook enorm achter met de klimaatplannen van de EU dus zo goed gaat het nou ook weer niet.
In terms of trade, look into the trade network of the Hansen cities mid 15th century. Apart from trade there is a rich history in science and technology today ASML is the market leader for chip manufactoring and of strategie global importance. There even is a ban in EUV machine for delivering to China.
Getting to net zero will be very challenging for Netherlands
Lots of wind power and some more nuclear power? Lots of power will be needed to stay dry being under sea level.
I love the Dutch,they are very smart and loving people.
You forgot about ASML, which is a dutch company, without, all computer technology will go back in time about 4-6 years.
Don’t where you got the idea that Dutch people are expected to work when they are sick. It’s not true. You stay at home. And of course your salary is also paid during the day you are sick. For a year, I believe. We also do not work hard. Most people prefer part time jobs, which the employer must give you if asked for.
One part imo is that the Dutch are very good in working together, in an egalitarian society. The agricultural situation is the result of farmers, university, government and banks work together after WO2. The university did research on real farms together with the farmers. They still doing that.
The other part is that we have a long tradition of applied science, applied art and other applied stuff.
Being Dutch myself I would like to add that the the Netherlands could have been entirely self sufficient as far as energy goes, Unfortunately we are not. There are two reasons for this, one is the Dutch political climate that as good as blocked nuclear energy and (although it doesn’t look like it) underinvestment in green energy. As things stand now a quarter to a third of energy used in the Netherlands is green, over half of that because of private homeowners investing in Solar panels. I suspect the lack of investment by the government has to with protecting its tax base ( high taxes on energy)
Which is causing problems now due to the Ukraine war and having to import from unstable sources. Shell, by the way is no longer a Dutch company they moved to England as a tax evasion exercise. Plus I think you underestimate the Dutch services industry, banking and insurance,expertise on watermanagement and shipping. Technical innovation Philips is huge on medical hardware and of course it’s former division ASML that produces machines to build high end chips. Not unimportant is the Netherlands close connection to Flanders ( Belgium) if Flanders was added to the Netherlands the combination would be (is) in the top ren of the worlds richest counties.

The energy shock/inflation wave of 2022 have put a full stop to the Dutch aluminium and greenhouse agricultural sectors.
Neither are likely to survive for long.
Greenhouses destroyed and farmers is all they want
Well, you don't know the Dutch then. We will survive, we always find a way.

7:42 "we're maybe the hardest workers on the whole planet" hell NO 😀! that's Americans, we drop everything a 17:00 ; we work to LIVE while Americans live to WORK.
it's a BIG difference 😉!
We have a robust (If slowly in the process of being torn down) social system.
When I am sick, as I am right now (Insane flue epidemic. WTB Soup) I call in sick. Working when you're ill is stupid.

It just started with the Sephardics coming from Spain ... they brough the money and the knowledge. That was all.
No they came after the Netherlands already were a prosperous nation.
@@jeanpierreviergever1417 In 1492, when Sephardics were expelled from Spain, the Dutch didn't even know how to navigate and even less trade. The Dutch learned from the Sephardic. Ask Spinoza.
@@fundacionhoracioducharne the first Sephardics arrived in the Netherlands around 1600. 1604 Alkmaar was the first Dutch city to recognise Sephardics and set the so-called Jewish protocol. Spinoza was born in 1632. The Netherlands were already at the peak of their (economic) power back then. They did contribute to the wealth of the the Netherlands but it was already on its way to success.

We Dutch recognise us less and less in all this positive information from foreign people. We can not afford a warm house anymore, millions Dutch people. Cold shower has many benefits, but we have to use it. We despise the Euro, both the EU.
We are getting poor, and have a corrupt government and state. Anger grows, while billions are exported to pointless goals, and people have to line up for food handouts, standing for two hours in line, to get some day to day groceries, also people with jobs.
The Netherlands is hollowed out by EU and WEF puppets, and it will take a while to rebuild our country.
To rub it in you put a picture of our so called king on this video, not a king at all, a freemason traitor WEF puppet. The rich part of our country fight the rest with a woke word game, also quite annoying.
I make it straightforward Dutch explicit, The Netherlands is gone, our capital sits for 1,400 billion euro in pensions, it used to be 1,800 billion. And that capital sits in companies like BlackRock. So basically it is gone, 1.4 trillion, that would be a 26 trillion on the scale of the USA, I doubt it if we will see this money back, we are poor.
yes which is not weird it has nothing to do with the EU. This is part of the war with Russia that we are in that makes oil and gas more expensive. You are just a little brainwashed. This is a problem that is going on in the world that things are expensive. Poor people are everywhere.
