I was literally joking about the Netherlands offering to make New York into New Amsterdam again last week.

My wish has come true!

Well done @EUCommission 👏

Meanwhile, here in the Netherlands;

“Foreign workers who come to the Netherlands to do low-skilled work and then lose their jobs should return home to be treated for non-urgent health conditions, health minister Fleur Agema has told current affairs show Zembla.”

She basically wants healthcare professionals to send the people who have already lost housing back home if they don't 'look sick’, which is just another way of discouraging discarded workers to stay here 😒
