  • Yeah no this isn't controversial. Private landlords serve no purpose in society. You just pay them their mortgage for the privilege of living in their house. It's ridiculous.

  • It's the infinite growth bullshit that every publicly traded company suffers from. They're making enough money, but with capitalism it's never enough...

  • I tried one after using the game one for years (open also) and they sounded absolutely horrible to me, very tinny. I tried them side by side and just stuck to my trusty game one instead....

    Dutch residents will have to ditch their cars for sustainable transport system
  • If I were to drive my car to work I would double the amount I drive per year. If you don't think this adds a lot of costs then I don't know what to tell you. If you drive somewhere incidentally sure, it doesn't really matter.

    Dutch residents will have to ditch their cars for sustainable transport system
  • A lot of people only tend to look at the fuel costs and maybe parking. However you're forgetting a big part of the costs of driving which is that every km adds to the depreciation in the cars worth as well as requiring more maintenance.

    It's very easy to say just buying fuel is pretty cheap, but those costs are easily doubled if you look at the full costs. Check out https://www.anwb.nl/auto/autokosten for examples of how much variable costs/km actually are.

    That said, this is for solo travelers... It's true that when you add more people the costs become much lower / person if you go by car since the costs just get multiplied with public transport. Exactly why my next vacation with 4 people will still be by car...

    However I've started taking the train for work now which still comes out a lot lower (40% discount outside of rush hours helps a lot too!)
