      @@herrbonk3635 Yeah I think ASML itself is completely reliant on one German company that makes a type of lense they need. People who say this don't know how fragile the whole supply chain is, there are multiple points where only one company can currently deliver what is necessary

    You should also mention the downsides. Illicit drug production (synthetic party drugs) is attacking the public bodies, the taxes are high, the prices are high and the houses to live in are very, very hard to find. Furthermore, if you mention agriculture, there is a huge clash between EU demands on environment and intensive agricultural practices. That will take many years to eventually and hopefully come to a conclusion.

    Fun fact Netherlands recently moved up, from 17th to 15th place in richest countries. Shell and Unilever both fusions of Dutch and British companies had Dutch and UK headoffices. Some years ago Shell and Uniliver closed there Dutch headoffice because of lower dividend tax in the UK. But I think the will be back in the Netherlands before 2030 closing their UK headoffice. Philips only produces medical equipment and razors in its Medical Division. All other Philips products you find in stores are produced by others under trademark licence. Other multi-national coporations home to The Netherland are Ikea of Sweden, Stalantis (owner of car brands Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat, Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Citroën, DS, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot.) From other US made videos about The Netherlands, I learned that we had a King called William The Fifth (such person is unkown in The Netherlands) and that the dutch bible belt was moved to a province called Noord Holland. This would be breaking news on CNN, but it never happend or is not planned.

    Small update: Shell hq is now in the UK. Many of the installations are still here, though. It’s just that the money now goes to the Tories.
    We do like being in bad relationships, don’t we? Romans, Spain, France, Germany… That French king, a related Bonaparte, we really did like, and the feeling was mutual as far as I know. Which upset dear old Nappy not just a bit.

    We also like our expats. I can’t keep track of all the yt channels of all the ppl from anywhere, living here and praising our little country. Even the weird stuff. I’m sure it’s not all that blissful, but it’s nice to hear.
    We’re also down to earth to the point of coming over as rude. But would you rather hear sugarcoated white lies than trust that we mean what we say and say what we mean? Really really? A spoken agreement is an agreement, even our law recognises that to some extent.

    Nicely done. Only remark i have (apart from some already mentioned below) is that like always, when people talk about The Netherlands they focus on the western parts. The east and north-eastern parts are always forgotten. They are certainly worth mentioning. In your defense: also the Government of The Netherlands and most people living in the western parts (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, etc.) see these eastern and north-eastern parts as non existing. The latest provincial elections have showen that the people living in these parts have no trust anymore in the western oriented politics and politicians (henceforth the enormous victory of the new BBB party)

      Well, though the poster speaks about The Netherlands, by and large the actual content is about Holland. Those latest provincial elections show the parti du jour - whatever problem not handled properly in Holland and just giving rise to yet another political party. - which most of the time will shrink into oblivion once Holland takes notice. Sometimes the consequences are long-lasting, though, like the time when Holland thought voting about the Constitution of the EU was a good idea, while the rest of the country had had enough of the EU blocking progress and retaliated by voting it down. Such is life.

    The Dutch language is easy to learn because it's related to German an English? Well, the latter is correct, but if there's one language difficult to learn for a foreinger, it's Dutch! Mainly because of our harsh 'g,' which is very hard to pronounce for foreingers because it's almost a unique sound in our language. As far as I know, only Dutch has that sound.

      In order to elevate foreign opinions about the Netherlands, authorities have decided that the red light district in Amsterdam will be moved to a residential area and that our flourishing drug industry will get more privileges and police protection. Because you really do not want that drug criminals get discriminated because they are Moroccan. That's why racial profiling is deemed illegal by the Dutch courts. After all, nearly every Dutch person with an Arabic background drives a €50 000 Audi when they are barely 18 from working an honest job.

    I am dutch. It is always a bit strange to watch videos like this, because it's only one side of the country and history. Living here I have another perception ofcourse and that is more negative, allthough I agree we are a rich country with a lot of benefits. But also in this country the wealth is not evenly spread, a lot of people are poor and depend on the "voedselbank" (where they can get fresh food every week), which is a disgrace I think. Labor immigrants from other (european) countries are treated really bad, they have no rights, their pay is poor and their housing too. Asylum seekers are treated very bad, they have to wait years and years to get a definite answer whether they can stay, and all that time they are not allowed to work or go to dutch classes. We have a lot of problems with drugs, not just the cannabis (which is legalised) but with the so called designer drugs, which affect young adults perticularly. Besides all this: the city of Amsterdam tries to disencourage Brittish youngsters to come to Amsterdam for their (stag) parties, because the people in the city are sick and tired of these drunk, loud and disruptive guests. I really don't like going to Amsterdam anymore, because of the massive amounts of tourists there.

      @@franswiggers601 but I do, with that question of yours I’m sure you don’t because those giant machines are setup with modules, all with their own special uses. The most important part is making the light (energy) on the correct wavelength to make sore the sizes as small as they are. That part is almost not possible to copy, taken time it does, but that’s about 10 years. That’s also the reason China doesn’t get those machines to make the last generation chips and are stuck with “old” machines, which btw are still responsible for 95% of the chips used in the world, and even on those machines there is a backlog which is the cause for shortage in the world.
