We knew back in 1988 that this would eventually happen. And it will get worse. Species are going extinct at a much faster pace than any of the earlier great extinction events.
Maybe we should finally lift the taboo on atomic power and start solving this problem.
Parking in the city center of Amsterdam will cost you more than 60 euro for a full day. But if you park at the edge of the city, close to the highway exit and next to a metro station, it will cost you 1 euro.
While it is no outright ban, it is one of the various ways the city is pushing cars away from the center.
So allegedly cruise tourists eat all meals on board the boat since it’s free as well as sleep there, so they spend very little compared to other tourists.
Lucky I just hit Amsterdam up on a Iceland/Norway cruise in June. It’s a beautiful city and port and will be missed. There are not too many cruise ports that are in the heart of the city.
Vacationing on a cruise ship is like being trapped in a floating mall. When they do let you out of the mall, the shore excursions are often trips to a smaller mall.
If you don’t like them, don’t go. Also some are better than others at not feeling like a mall. Some folks enjoy casinos and bars and the ship takes you to new destinations. The ship itself is the core destination and if you don’t go into it thinking than then you won’t enjoy yourself.
Oh yea no argument there. Some of the new ships with LNG are pretty interesting. Another big problem is flying a flag of convenience and bad labor practices.
Assisted suicide should be legal, at least for incurable, painful disease (and many other things if you ask me). This poor man should not been made to kill his wife personally to save her from suffering. That is cruel to both him and his wife, who could have gone in a much more peaceful way.
