This is how I talk when it's too early in the morning and I haven't had any coffee.

I don't understand what he's saying, but it makes infinitely more sense than anything that's ever come out of Trump's mouth.

Even though it's Dutch it sounds very reminiscent of the Scouse accent.

I didn’t understand a word but it’s interesting seeing Rutger speak in his first language. He seems more comfortable

How about basic productivity?

[@ericinman430]

@@HellsDumpling You get paid for producing something, goods or services. The higher the demand for a good or service, the higher a fee you can charge. If you produce nothing, you can expect nothing. Of coarse begging is still an option, and even assholes like myself will, feed those who could use a meal.

His understanding of power when it comes to workers is so far away from reality. When the some middle class workers go on strike you will still have other low middle class worker who will do their jobs because they need the money to survive and they don't care about how rich the people on the top are. So you will have thousands/millions workes to replace them - even from other countries. BUT when it comes to top range workers who take more responsibility, who have more burden, who have more knowledge, etc. you have much less options to replace them. So who is the more important one?
People need to start calling this guy out for his show and simple thinking which he have from books and less looking at the reality.
