#SarsCoV2 In dit bericht gaan we weer wat verder in op de verontrustende groei van het aantal personen met een arbeidsongeschiktheidsuitkering in Nederland. Het is inmiddels ook doorgedrongen tot het nieuwe kabinet, dat daarop heeft besloten om te korten op duur en hoogte van de uitkeringen, in plaats van de oorzaak te onderzoeken (#LongCovid!) en pandemische preventie in te zetten.

"Since many AI centers are built in economically vulnerable rural areas—like Bessemer, Alabama, a predominantly Black city—already disadvantaged communities are disproportionately affected by the resulting pollution and water scarcity. It is a continuation of a long history of marginalized communities becoming sacrifice zones that shoulder the environmental costs of economic progress. This is environmental racism."

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, was walking in a Berlin park when he met a young woman who was crying because she had lost her favorite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.
Kafka told her to meet there the next day and they would come after her.
The next day, when they hadn't found the doll yet, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll that said: "Please don't cry. Took a trip to see the world I'll write to you about my adventures "
And so began a story that continued until the end of Kafka's life.
During the meetings, Kafka read the doll's letters carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.
