In the Netherlands:
* Cornelia was told that the Dutch will tolerate behavior if it’s profitable, doesn’t harm anyone and is done quietly — close to what I wrote awhile ago.
- Health insurance is mandatory.
- Everyone has a national ID number
- You can possess and smoke marijuana
- The drinking age is 18, 16 for beer*
- Gasoline is about $9 per gallon
- Plastic and aluminum are not recycled in most areas (low consumption of soda!)
- The VAT (sales tax) is about 20 percent
- The postal service is privatized
- Pancakes are VERY thin
I’ve been looking for signs of chaos and destruction, but nothing so far. I’ll keep you posted.
