The Dutch are widely known for their frugality, but we do understand that there is a limit to this, and the decision made should always be based on the win and loss. For example, if a solution is a problem, the solution isnt a good solution. Or if the savings make life sad, then its just not a good saving.

I really hope that the Trump instated Department of Efficiency understands the difference between the following concepts; where I noted the Democrats were not frugal but rather stingy when it came down to the green shit and what not.

The difference between frugal and stingy lies mainly in the intent and the way someone manages money or resources. Both involve saving, but they are perceived very differently.


Frugal

  • Meaning: Someone who handles money or resources wisely and consciously, avoiding unnecessary waste.
  • Connotation: Positive. Frugality is often seen as a virtue, showing efficiency and sustainability.
  • Example: Buying a present at the right time, for a discounted price. Turning off lights in empty rooms or buying certain second-hand items instead of new ones. Turns off the tap while brushing teeth.
  • Synonyms: Thrifty, economical.

Stingy

  • Meaning: Someone who is excessively and often unreasonably reluctant to spend money, even when it’s needed or appropriate. This often comes at the expense of others.
  • Connotation: Negative. Stinginess is seen as a lack of generosity or empathy.
  • Example: Refusing to treat others on a birthday or always opting for the cheapest option, even if it comes across as rude. Keeping the lights turned off in an active room. Having holes in clothing, and being smelly due to saving water.
  • Synonyms: Miserly, tightfisted.

Key Difference

  • Frugal is about being smart with resources and avoiding waste.
  • Stingy is about holding on to money or resources in a way that’s selfish or unreasonable.
In short: frugality is admired, while stinginess is often criticized.

Before the chicken there musta been
An egg
The community of Sephardic Jews in the Netherlands, particularly in Amsterdam, was of major importance in the seventeenth century. The Portuguese Jews in the Netherlands did not refer to themselves as "Sephardim",[1] but rather as "Hebrews of the Portuguese Nation."[2] The Portuguese-speaking community grew from conversos, Jews forced to convert to Catholicism in Spain and Portugal, who rejudaized under rabbinical authority, to create an openly self-identified Portuguese Jewish community.[3] As a result of the expulsions from Spain in 1492 and Portugal in 1496, as well as the religious persecution by the Inquisition that followed, many Spanish and Portuguese Jews left the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the 15th century and throughout the 16th century, in search of religious freedom. Some migrated to the newly independent Dutch provinces which allowed Jews to become residents. Many Jews who left for the Dutch provinces were crypto-Jews. Others had been sincere New Christians, who, despite their conversion, were targeted by Old Christians as suspect. Some of these sought to return to the religion of their ancestors. Ashkenazi Jews began migrating to the Netherlands in the mid-seventeenth century, but Portuguese Jews viewed them with ambivalence.[4]


State of the community before the large-scale migration​

Many Jews migrating from the Kingdom of Portugal, where Spanish Jews had fled after the Spanish Inquisition had been introduced in Spain in 1478, followed by the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492. In 1497, the Portuguese forcibly converted all Jews in Portugal, including many who had returned to Judaism after fleeing Spain and its Inquisition. Following the establishment in 1536 of the Portuguese Inquisition, descendants of Jews who had converted to Catholicism dating back to a forced conversion in Spain in 1391 through the Portuguese forced conversion, were looked upon with suspicion by Old Christians. In search of greater religious and economic freedoms, many crypto-Jews left Portugal for places with more lenient religious legislation and opportunities where their unique skill sets could thrive. Many left for Brazil, where Europeans were Portuguese-speaking, and France. A couple of decades later, groups of crypto-Jews started reaching the Dutch Republic.


Migration to Amsterdam​

Amsterdam became one of the most favored destinations in the Netherlands for Sephardic Jews. Because many were merchants and traders, Amsterdam benefited economically from their arrival. However, the reason to settle in Amsterdam was not merely voluntary; many crypto-Jews or marranos had been refused admission in trading centers such as Middelburg and Haarlem and because of that settled in Amsterdam. Soon many Jews settled at Vlooienburg. There were three struggling congregations. In 1638 a reconciliation was achieved, whereby one synagogue was sold, one remained in existence and the third continued to be used as a schoolroom which merged to Talmud Torah, a united Sephardic congregation.[5] Several Sephardic Jews supported the House of Orange and were in return protected by the stadholder.

Note: during the second world war, Amsterdam consisted of 10% jews. By today's number not a big fraction, but back then it was massive, and it influenced the city a lot.

According to this document, there was no Zyklon B used to gas humans at the FEMA camps. < joke

The document would be more interesting if Auzwitch was listed there. Its basically a checklist. They went past these locations and these locations did not contain gassing and the accusations were false.

Ministerial Director, Mayor Muller.

Side note, this is not German. Its Austria. Left bottom its talking about and address in Wien (Vienna). And a bit up its stating Republic of Austria.
East south of German, bordering country, and location of the Eagles nest. Where Adolf Hitler was born.

The locations listed:

Stutthof, was in Germany. It was liberated as the last camp.
Ravensbruck, was near Berlin and was for women only.
Dachau also in Germany and one of the bigger camps.

I think they are all German camps. Keep in mind, that the Jews will claim that most of them got gassed in places like Poland.

I can be wrong, im not German. And fuck your pixels.

The Allied research commission has recently witnessed/concluded, that in the following concentrationcamps no humans with poisnous gas got killed.

Bergen-belsen, buchenwald, dachau, flossenburg, gross-rosen, mauthausen, and Neberlager, natzweiler, neuenhausen, stutthof, Theresienstadt.

In these (Füllen? I think this is: "In these fillings could be pointed out") it could be proven that confessions were blackmailed by (blustering? I think this is: "Torture") and witness statements were false.

This must be taken into account in the KV surveys and interrogations.

Former concentration camp prisoners who, during interrogations, make statements about the murder of people, especially Jews, with poison gas in these concentration camps are to be brought to the attention of this investigation result. If they continue to insist on their statements, the charges must be filed for false testimony





(At this point I just wrote the text and did an auto translate.
In diesen pullen konnte nachgewiesen weredn, dass gestandnisse, durch polterungen erpresst wurden und zeugenaussagen falsch waren.

Dies ist bei den kv-erhebungen und einvernahmen zu berucksichtigen.
Ehemalige KZ-haftlingen, welche bei Einvernahmen angaben uber die ermordung von menschen, insbesondere von juden, mit giftgas in diesen KZ machen, ist diesen Untersuchungs ergebnis zur kenntenis zu bringen. Sollten sie weiter auf ihre Aussagen bestehen, ist die Anzeigen wegen falscher Zeugenaussage zu erstatten)

Thanks you for shortening your signature.

Frugality is not a common trait of any government. Not sure there is a way to solve that issue, other than full deletion of said government.

Isnt it ironic how undemocratic our democracies are?
Yes.

I see no evidence that the USA is a democratically controlled republic. In fact i think it fits the definition of an Oligarchy quite neatly.

My opinion on that has been formed by the following:

Campaign buzzwords and talking points have rested on two things: saving democracy, and Oligarchs are the problem, especially the Russian ones.

If I know anything out government, I know that what they tell you is 180 degrees incorrect.

The "saving democracy" thing, implies that there is one to save, or that one is lost, and a struggle exists to regain it. Both are a fallacy. All the while, Oligarchs control every facet of governmental operations, in one way or the other.

Dwight Eisenhower, warned about this in his farewell address at the end of his presidency, and the next President was killed because of it.
