that sucks, i thought usually you'll get a raise if negotiating i've never heard it would be a decrease. usually it's never what you want though
Amsterdam for example, will never force people to work, and allow them to live from a basic income.
I got that basic income to, but was forced to compensate
Now, i not longer get a basic income
Basic income = 22.5hours per week for minimum wage.
You Americans find this strange,
But here, you pay 90%tax on the hours 30to40per week.
And ones you have saved 7000coins, your wright for basic income are gone.
Ones you payed off your house, or own money, you gone pay tax on it every year. (€ 2.395 euro/year for 250000, ontop of inflation)
So even when work hard for decades, you will not escape wage-slavery.
In Spain and Italy, people have 250%more saving then the average in the Netherlands.
They promised young people, 0% interest on student debt, so they all get 50k, and the raise the interest rate to 2,56% this year.
You payed 30year pension, they promised you can stop at age 62, but when you reached that age, its 67 (I call that breach of contract)
Knowing how the kapital elite world works, is not that good for motivation. So i follow my own rules
