It’s now happening in the US with the “Real” drivers license, without which you you won’t be able to fly, vote, or move about, without one, is my concern now fortified by your story of the frog!

Mind-boggling and deeply disturbing; they're among the populations with highest average income on the planet.

{...Belgian Blend...} ??? 🤔🤔🤔 ...

Le be'tail c'est du "cattle" ...

Any idea on how to drive a Belgian (f/m) crazy ???

Lock them up in a round room and tell them to look for a portion of fresh pommes-frites in the corner ...

You’re right about ”bétail” and ”cattle”, I wanted to keep the 4 B in both languages so I opted for ”blend”, meaning ”à la sauce belge” or ”belgian way”. Traduttore, traditore say the Italians ! 😉

Didn’t know for the avg highest income... one more ”club” I’m not part of ! 🤣

And for the pommes frites : the moral of history is that if someone resolves the quadrature of the circle, it will necessarily be a Belgian ! 🤣🤣

Why is it so hard for people to see that the more surveillance there is, the easier it is for governments to crack down on dissidents?

I suppose most of people are not dissidents (yet ? 🤞🤞🤞) - and above all, not ready to accept that we, the ordinary people, are ”the enemy”. I guess the upper middle class is convinced they belong to the ”elite”... they don’t know they will never be among the ”chosen ones” ...
