Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, under the influence of the World Economic Forum, announced his goal to reach net-zero nitrogen emissions in 2019. This policy will force farmers to reduce livestock and food production to reduce nitrogen emissions. As the massive protests grew in June 2022, Rebel News sent two reporters to cover the story. Now, in this feature production, we tell the story of The Boer: A Dutch Farmer Rebellion.

I thought you were going back one of the earlier Boer rebellions. Winston Churchill got a lot of mileage out of his interactions with the Boers.

I was thinking about the war as well. I didn't know that the term was still in use.

The issue isn't limited to the Dutch. With all the governments pandering towards net-zero, they've started implementing carbon limits on farmers everywhere.
At a time when there's a global food crisis and rampant inflation. WTF?
You might want to start looking at a vegetarian diet, because you're not going to be able to afford that steak pretty soon...

Boer is the Dutch word for farmer

Related, the main story for this week's Last Week Tonight is basically how full of shit the carbon emissions offset/credit system is.

Makes you wonder if farmers can also partake in this scheme and buy offsets without having to change their current operations.

Give refugees priority in housing, Amsterdam councillors say

Seems like there are emergency measures in the country which now give refugees priority over Dutch nationals for housing.

This is bad, because they cannot build as much housing as they need. There is the set limit of emissions this thread is about, and construction adds to that. So the construction industry needs to be downscaled due to the importance of the agricultural industry, because the emissions limit doesn't discriminate by industry. So you could not only have a food shortage, but also a housing crisis due to the emission targets.

Talk about a rock & a hard place.
