@SuperDicq simple solution: stop eating 
@bonifartius@qoto.org But we don't actually eat the food we produce. It's all for export.
@SuperDicq everything produced in NL is exported?
my point is that the problem aren't the farmers it's the government who wants to rob them more..
everything produced in NL is exported?
No, but the majority is. We consume only about 20% of the meat that we produce, it's completely unnecessary.@SuperDicq sure, but that is a systemic problem. killing small farms by taxing more is only intensifying this for the future. big industrialized farms have less problem with paying some more taxes.
@SuperDicq fwiw: we have two farmers unions here in germany, one big lobbyist group close to industrial farming and one which mainly represents small eco hippie farms and both say the things the government plans are bullshit.
to return to topic: did you want to go by car into brussels? Oo
@SuperDicq i once went into antwerp by car and that wasn't much fun. guess i'm not cut out for big city traffic ;)
@bonifartius@qoto.org Yes, I wanted to go by car to Brussels with two friends. I think we're still gonna do it but we'll just drive in the evening instead when things die down or we take a detour.
