The royals are on tour, hackers are at the door, and Teslas? No more
The Netherlands is multitasking like a champđ
Goedemiddag, lieve lezers! (Good afternoon, dear readers!)
Dutch intelligence reports that the Netherlands is now a prime target for Russian cyberattacks. Think digital espionage, sabotage, and a whole lot of virtual meddling. Itâs giving 007 energy, but make it Excel spreadsheets and hacked inboxes. đľď¸ââď¸
Still, in true Dutch style, theyâre responding by doing what they do best: throwing a massive national birthday party and pretending everythingâs chill. And where exactly is this royal distraction happening? This year, the Dutch royal family is heading to Doetinchem for Kingâs Day. Never heard of it? Youâre not alone! đ§Ą
Of course, not everyoneâs partying like royalty. Between inflation and bills, many of us are trying to keep our spending in check. Thankfully, the Dutch government is stepping in with financial support to help cover energy costs. If your walletâs been crying louder than your thermostat, this could be your moment. đ¸
And speaking of cutting back, Tesla is losing its shine in the Netherlands. While the company has been focused on global drama, political side quests, and mass layoffs, Dutch drivers are looking elsewhere. Turns out, silent cars donât sell if your CEO wonât stop making noise. đ¤ˇââď¸
But letâs end on a bright note, literally. The clouds are stepping aside just in time for Kingâs Day. After some gloomy days, the weather is turning dry and sunny. Yes, you read that right: the Netherlands is getting a sunshine-soaked public holiday. Miracles happen.
Tot zo! (See you!)
