										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got fined 62 euros for riding my bike in Amsterdam without light. Perfectly fine by me. It is one less night out for dinner. It hurts a little. I was wondering about the coporate fines for corporate wrongdoing. Take for example Rabobank that got fined for the LIBOR scandal.</p>
<p>This video shows that coporate fines are too low, too slow and hurt the wrong people (shareholders not executives).</p>
<p><iframe class="youtube-player" width="697" height="393" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4TAaAZ9g9vE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></p>
<p>Take for example Swittzerland or Finland. One case is a 37 year-old Swedish man who was clocked at 180 miles per hour on a motorway between Bern and Lausanne. Unfortunately for this driver of a new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Switzerland doesn’t have fixed fines for speeding. Instead they use a formula similar to that in Finland where the fine is calculated based on the vehicle’s speed and the driver’s income. Back in 2002, Nokia executive Anssi Vanjoki had to pay a fine of $103,600 for going 47 mph in a 31 mph zone.</p>
<p>So why aren&#8217;t we fining BP a year of profit for spilling all the oil in the gulf?</p>
<p>Well maybe because we have people like <a title="Congressman Grimm threatens reporter to throw him off a balcony" href="http://swampland.time.com/2014/01/29/state-of-the-union-2014-michael-grimm-new-york-threat-balcony/" target="_blank">Congressman Grimm</a> who is free to threaten reporters and use his powers to <a title="Conressman Grimm out of control" href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/05/02/110502fa_fact_ratliff?currentPage=all" target="_blank">arrest innocent people.</a></p>
<p>Congressman like Grimm are there to introdcue bills and legislations (e.g. fining coporations). You might get my point.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, banks got a huge fine of <a title="Libor Fine banks" href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/12/04/uk-eu-bank-fine-idUKBRE9B309W20131204" target="_blank">Euro 1.7 billion</a> for the libor scandal/ fraud/ manipulations. If you do not know what the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is &#8211; it is the inter bank interest rate hat is charged between banks. My own bank was also involved in the scandal and got a fine of 775m. They send me this letter (in Dutch). What do I have to say? all Dutch banks were nationalized as they had toxic assets and they nearly went bust during the last three years &#8211; ING, ABN. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/l1xg910qq4g87zs/2013-11-15%2012.26.58.jpg">Rabobank Letter page 1</a> <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/4as8m070dbx14j4/2013-11-15%2012.27.04.jpg">Rabobank letter page 2</a> .</p>
<p>The bankers are greedy. They do everything to forge the system to get their bonus. Who would not use all available methods to get rich quick and receive a super high bonuses. When I was studying business administration it was the holy grail for many fellow students to get rich quick and join the financial elites in London and New York. Drive big cars, work long hours and retire and look 20 years older the they were at 40 including a too young trophy model girlfriend and a big penthouse overlooking central park in NYC.</p>
<p>I wonder how people now look at this kind of career and if young students still want to join the financial elite?</p>
<p>Greed is human. Greed is instututionalised. Politics are poor in handling greed. Today the news in Holland were that many semi government housing cooperations who made very very unusual investment choices in the past 10 years. The thing is The Netherlands is denslyn populated and the cooperations have one goal: provide affordable housing for people who can not afford a cheap place to live. Housing prices in the free market are unaffordable. they have bunked a lot a cash as they were for along time run very conservative. During the boom years the last ten years many of them have made very very risky investment. <a title="Fraud a housing cooperations" href="http://www.z24.nl/ondernemen/bestuursgangsters-bij-woningcorporaties-aanpakken-lukt-niet-altijd-405559" target="_blank">There were many case of fraud</a>. The top is still filling their pockets. They recently raised their salaries. <a title="salaries Dutch Housing cooperations" href="http://www.rtvoost.nl/nieuws/default.aspx?cat=1&amp;nid=177490" target="_blank">The politicians are in uproar today.</a></p>
<p>And then, one thing strikes me about our general culture. Many people are busy with how they look and that they must look beautiful even after a pregnancy. A selfie of a Norwegian semi celeb caused uproar today. <a title="Selfie how good you can look - where is the baby?" href="http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/mom-under-fire-post-baby-body-selfie-215700858.html" target="_blank">She posted a selfie of herself how good she looks 3 days after giving birth.</a></p>
<p>What kind of society have we created? A society were everybody thinks about themselves and wants to show off what they have how good they look and how rich they are? No wonder that Facebook causes major <a title="Facebook depression study" href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/facebook-makes-people-sad-says-university-of-michigan-study/" target="_blank">depression en envy with the average people</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visit <a title="http://oddsinourfavor.org/" href="http://oddsinourfavor.org/" target="_blank">http://oddsinourfavor.org/</a> and join the resistance.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="697" height="393" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BmVJaBuoEYA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Who controls the narrative?</strong> The rich and powerful tell us that if we put our heads down and work hard, we can overcome the odds and join the ranks of the victors — the wealthy and privileged few. However, it’s increasingly clear that the game is rigged, and that we have an important role to play: At best, we are the loyal consumers. At worst, we are the ones who slip through the cracks.</p>
<p><strong>And that’s why we’re taking back the narrative.</strong> The Hunger Games explores numerous themes that are relevant to the imbalances that exist in our world. In Catching Fire, Katniss Everdeen solidifies her role as a symbol for change and sets the resistance in motion. Thus, the release of the Catching Fire film represents a perfect opportunity to establish a dialogue about our own problems and set the wheels in motion for positive change. Instead, Catching Fire is being used as an opportunity to sell makeup and fast-food sandwiches.</p>
<p>And we have a very simple response to that: <strong>Not on our watch.</strong></p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><i>Lieve dames, mijne heren,</i></p>
<p><i></i><i>Dit zijn mijn laatste dagen bij […]. Per […] zal ik als […] bij […] aan de slag gaan. Een mooie uitdaging waar ik met veel plezier en nieuwe energie aan zal beginnen!</i></p>
<p><i>Ik nodig jullie allemaal van harte uit om vrijdag beneden in de bar een borrel te komen drinken. Voel je vooral niet verplicht te komen. Voor degenen die wel komen en ook na 20.30u nog zin hebben in een drankje: Amsterdam kent vele plaatsen waar een afscheid op memorabele wijze gevierd kan worden.</i></p>
<p><i></i><i>Na bijna acht jaar trouwe dienst is het einde dan nu echt in zicht. Dat brengt je ertoe terug te kijken op de afgelopen jaren. Het dwingt je ook tot zelfreflectie. Zouden we niet allemaal eens wat vaker in de spiegel moeten kijken? Om misverstanden te voorkomen: neem onderstaand vooral met een korrel zout, het is niet kwaad bedoeld.</i></p>
<p><i>Het begon voor mij allemaal op […]. Groen als gras kwam ik binnen. Naïef ook. Al snel leer je de spelregels en het klappen van de zweep kennen:</i></p>
<p><i>&#8211; Omhoog likken, omlaag trappen: was ik denk ik niet zo goed in. Misschien had ik een te grote mond “omhoog” en was ik teveel begaan met het lot van “omlaag”.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8211; Vaktechniek, daar draait het uiteindelijk toch om: vaktechnisch stond ik mijn mannetje wel. Het is uiteindelijk ook allemaal niet zo heel ingewikkeld. Gewoon veel en vaak een niet te controleren verwijzing naar de Hoge Raad of wetsgeschiedenis uitbraken tijdens vaktechnische overleggen. Of gewoon lekker achteloos orakelen dat het je allemaal “niet helemaal meer helder op het netvlies staat”, maar dat “het toch echt niet zo kan zijn dat”. Niemand die je dan meer durft tegen te spreken.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8211; Duidelijk communiceren doen we niet aan: deze spelregel was niet zo aan mij besteed. Net zo min als de spelregel “waardering uitspreken kennen we hier niet”. En dat terwijl het uitspreken van waardering weinig kost en juist zoveel oplevert. Vanuit een kosten/batenperspectief zou dat toch moeten aanspreken.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8211; Tijdschrijven met de gouden vork: ging me slecht af. Ik kwam er te laat achter dat je je daadwerkelijke “time spent” maal drie moest doen om een beetje in de buurt van je (dan opeens veel realistischere) target te komen. Merlin (2.0), ik zal je missen.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8211; Exposure is belangrijk: ging me goed af, althans dat dacht ik. Ik besefte me te laat dat je je vooral niet moest profileren als “sociaal vaardig” en “altijd in voor gekkigheid”. Mijn tweevoudige deelname aan het cabaret met al dan niet twijfelachtige acts was dan wellicht ook geen meesterzet. Ik had misschien ook minder groeps- en studentenevents moeten organiseren en in mijn eerste jaren sowieso minder vaak op borrels moeten staan. Ik had me daarentegen vaker door kantoor moeten bewegen met uitgestreken gezicht en een interessant dossier of Vakstudienieuws in de hand.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8211; Dag en nacht (zichtbaar) bereikbaar zijn – hoezo privéleven: ik meende hierin uit te blinken totdat ik erachter kwam dat bereikbaar zijn op zichzelf niet zaligmakend is. Je moest vooral “zichtbaar” bereikbaar zijn. En daar faalde ik. Ik zat niet duimen draaiend tot middernacht (of vroeg in de ochtend) op kantoor naar mijn scherm te staren. Ik stuurde ook geen (al dan niet voorgeprogrammeerde) nachtelijke emails uit.</i></p>
<p><i>&#8211; Gebakken lucht verkopen: was een van mijn sterkere punten, hoewel ik het wel van anderen heb moeten afkijken. Maar een mens leert snel. Cliënten het bos in sturen met een onnavolgbaar twintig pagina’s tellend stukje proza. Hoe mistiger hoe beter. Onder het motto: kost een hoop en dan hebben we ook altijd nog de 6% kantooropslag. Die twintig pagina’s papier kosten immers ook wat.</i></p>
<p><i>Tot zover mijn zelfreflectie. Met heel veel plezier kijk ik terug op bijna […]. Ik heb veel geleerd, ik heb een geweldige tijd in zowel […] als […] beleefd en heb hier vriendschappen voor het leven gemaakt. Ik zal velen van jullie dan ook oprecht gaan missen.</i></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I walk around Amsterdam, I see a lot more Spanish people. They are not tourist. They are immigrants &#8211; the lost generation or &#8216;<em>generacion cero</em>&#8216; is on the move trying their luck everywhere around Europe.</p>
<p>If you ask me, Spain, Greece and Portugal are way ahead of us. What they are experiencing we will be experiencing faster and we will be hit even harder &#8211; we do not have anywhere to run. We are on our way to &#8220;<em>world cero</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>How sad it will or could be, shows the Facebook post of a Spanish pal (with some nice academic degrees) &#8211; cleaning toilets in the UK. Didn&#8217;t they tell us that education is best defense against unemployment? <strong>The best thing: he is not complaining about the fact that he cleans toilets. He complains that he didn&#8217;t have the opportunity to clean toilets in Spain.</strong></p>
<p>I understand him, I would rather be in my home country where the sun shines, where they have a siesta from 15- 18 and where the food tastes awesome and the girls have big brown eyes and dark hair instead of being in London, a metropolis and the center of the people who are partly responsible for the situation you are in (the bankers). He is maybe even cleaning the very toilets of some of those big shot bankers who have caused what has happend to Spain and has forced him to leave his home country and leave everything behind.</p>
<p>Think about this one.</p>
