I visited the Netherlands in 2010-2011 one thing that amazed me is there was no poverty, at least from when i explored. The U.S city i live in which i see poverty everyday, its pretty sad.
It depends where you are in a city like Amsterdam there are definitely poor and unsafe neighborhoods but you won't see much poverty in the city centre.
It is because homeless people will be send away by the Police, in Amsterdam there are cameras on every street corner they don't have chance to beg or sleep in the city. Homeless people are in hiding in bushes or old buildings.
Our poverty is endlews debt and housing problems for the next 20 years. People arr stuck.
Thats true come live in this big lie but the USA is the same fortclosure and Fema camps
Extreme poverty doesn't exist in the Netherlands. There are no Skid Rows in Amsterdam or Rotterdam.
Amazing I'll move there immediately cos i can't see any poverty..
Poverty in America, new York City specifically ....
$1300-$1400 /studio apartment. Box style ..
$1700-1900-/small one bedroom
2000-2600 / large one bedroom
$2800-3000- small "luxury " apartment. It fucking sucks $63k-$70k a year is considered poverty here.
@@allesrachtsichirgendwannlu1893 if 63k a year is poverty there then I love to move there here you must have a verry high pissition to make that in a year
@@korstiaanakse1 WAY higher rent prices and other costs, and no pension build up. Be carefull what you wish for 😉
....................................... you are crazy .
just 3 vegetables: 20 euro's 2 cups of coffee 8 euro. fuck off
I've beem working in the Netherlands for the last 2 years and they give me 48h to leave the house. I don't have any income for 5 months+. I will eventually have debt if i can't find a house to start working again. But i see indians,sirians, Turkish people have social house and the government give them everything, they don't even need to work. I'm european and I'm homeless
exactly.
Even in the "poor" parts of the Netherlands there's no garbage on the streets, the roads are in perfect condition,and the parks are well maintained.
Is this satire? Where are the tent citites? Where are the homeless?
They not poor. Netherlands people don't know what poor means. They have best social security.
@@strainsfromamsterdam8357 you don't know what "poor" means. Living from 200 euro a months with same grocery prices as in the Netherlands. 1 meal a day, only bread and beans.
@@waso778 here are defintly poor people. Kids who pas out during school because of hunger, because there parents simply cant pay gor the grocery's. Maybe you never seen it here but you dont see the wind either but yet we all know it excists
@@korstiaanakse1 Praat gewoon Nederlands, ik ken die taal nog redelijk. Armoede in Nederland? Kinderen die zogenaamd geen eten hebben, door onverantwoordelijke ouders? Terwijl ze in een paradijs wonen? Nederlanders zoals jij hebben werkelijk totaal geen idee wat "poor" means.
I visited Netherlands in July 2023, did not see poverty, everything is clean and tidy. Great Country.
ppl in northern europe dont know what poverty is.
Well said. I met one person that claimed poverty and started going to foodbanks.
Incredibly deciding to carry on with her 20 a day smoking habit and having just acquired a 48 inch flat screen TV. Yes, times really are tough here in Northern Europe.
Poverty for everyone is different, yes people in poor countries have it worse. But that doesn’t mean the people that are poor in north Europe aren’t suffering from poverty.
That is compleet bull.
If your balance is negative @ the end of the month your poor.
These people had a house and 2 jobs and than dropped back with no job.
That the poverty in the rest of the world is even worse that is possible.
Bud we pay a huge load more tax.
I think some people in Scotland are quite poor
Being from that part of Europe, i agree 100%. people have no idea what they are talking about. Poverty is not being able to eat. Here poverty is if you cant eat a steak.
Humm. I think the budgeter are like our receivers or trustees in bankruptcy. Still it seems better to be poor in the Netherlands than America.
Hobby Queen I agree with you that it is better to be poor in the Netherlands than in America.I am disabled and have a hard time trying to get housing.I am trying to go back to work and try to work again ,even with my disability. Can't get any help I was told that section 8 closed its doors
Thanks to Obama and Bush letting in all those illegals from South of The U.S.border.We would be in better shape.Illegals cost America billions of dollars a year.Thank God we God Trump.The economy is picking up with over 3,000,000 million jobs since since Trump got elected in January 2017.
" I was told that section 8 closed its doors"
Jeffrey what does that even mean? Section 8 still exist: www.hud.gov/topics/housing_choice_voucher_program_section_8
You shouldn't go by what you're told and should instead research, seek out and apply for what's available to you.
The difference is that our last 4 politicians were traitors who were in the pockets of The Globalist.You also forget is that The Netherlands is about the same size as Pennsylvania,where the United States is the size of Russia and Canada.
@@MichaelLantzBiden president now
Nederlanders hebben geen idee wat echte armoede is. Dagen lang zonder vreten.
😢
Helemaal met je eens! Al die flauwekul over 'armoede' in NL. Kijk eens over de grens, mensen 👍
dat komt dus voor in Nederland. genoeg voorbeelden............ malloot
People in the NL, must get out of the EU!! Only way to stop Your own people going to the streets!!!
I think we meed to go to a new planet
Nonsense to suggest that Dutch people are poor. Travel to a proper third world country and see real poverty first hand. I can tell you its not a pretty sight.
@@chrismith251 people do have it worse there. But that doesn’t mean these people aren’t suffering. Being poor in a well of country isn’t good either.
I thought the Scandinavia countries and the Netherlands have resources in place against homelessness
They did, but then they diverted all these resources to invaders.
Some people keep destroying every opportunity they have...
I once asked a homeless guy who was selling newpapers here why he didn't go to a job agency.
His anwer: 'then I have to get up early and work all day for 80,- euro, here I have that in a few hours'.
That is true, but sadly the line between rich and poor is still getting bigger in the Netherlands
@@sverduijn1 That homeless guy seems like already have a job. He sells newspaper. He doesnt need job that pays lower than their job.
@@jadabaker1639 Because the rich earned more, NOT because the poor earned less ;)

Mooie docu... maar... het verschilt zoooooooo per 'Gemeente' met de nadruk op verschil
buitenlanders krijgen alles. nederlanders niks.
Where are the subtitles?
They never mentioned Alcohol or drug abuse.Hmmmm i wonder why.
There are other agencies for.
These are the working poor
so. rich people that are addicted have more rights? idiot.
Cant read captions, too small,
click on subtitles, then options and you can change it but i guess after 1 year of this comment you already realized that.
Diana kemana Bu?
Lmao the average income in my country is way less than the poverty line barrier in the Netherlands XD
Sure, but is a bread €2 or is cheese €6 for 500g? Do you pay €100 for a mandatory health insurance (if you don't have one you get fined). Is 60% of your gas and electric bill taxes?
Income isn't the whole story. It's income - cost of living - prices of goods that determine poverty. And poverty is relative. Being poor in a wealthy country is different from being poor in a poor country. The problems you face are different. Just because a poor person in a poor country is even worse of doesn't mean that a poor person in a wealthy countries personal troubles are to be laughed away. Not when there are a ton of people and companies in this world who have more money then they know what to do with and who achieved that wealth on the heads of others.
"Don't talk about no motherfucking taxes, when I ain't making no dough"
-Joyner Lucas
Poverty is relative.
Can you give on topic response to Robert Phoenix his response? The fact that you ignore his proves that you are wrong.
Your income is lower and so are the expenses. Or not?, explain
It's relative, income is higher but everything costs a lot more also.
That is good ze wille zoch aanstellen tegenover durinsmwrs ze houden ervan om neer te kijken op duruname wel eerlijk gezegt ik kijk altijd neef op hin
nog een keer, graag in het Nederlands.. mafketel.
It's odd to think that we feel entitled to a vacation?! Like really? Where did this originate?? Just a random question based on what this lady was saying! Here's an idea! Volunteer to help people that have less than you!
It originated from the labour law. Also the government collects taxes and pension deductions supposedly to cover our asses when we get old, but then it fuck it all up conducting endless wars-war on poverty, war on drugs, war in the Middle East. The was time in Hong Kong when people were taxed flat 10% on their income and it was their duty to save for retirement. That is a good system, but not in a financial world run on ever devaluating paper currencies. It can only exist with solid money. I would prefer this system. But the crooks in power always want to screw us any time and way they can. A few years ago there was a strike of railway workers in France who were pissed that their retirement age was moved from 55 to whatever age. Many people laughed and said that was ok. So I guess it is ok to pay 50-60% taxes throughout your working carrier based on the promises that you will retire at the age of 55 and at the end show you a middle finger. If the government broke the agreement it should return and compensate over collected taxes + interest. If you are behind with your taxes, they do charge interest, don't they? The bottom line is that we are not slaves in this society and our labour is generating enough wealth to cover old age retirement, if the motherfuckers in power stop wasting money on endless crimes.
I totally agree that we aren’t entitled to a vacation! And I think as long as you have food on the table and roof over your head you should be fine!
@@Lanja1991 I don't agree,we need something in our lives that values ourselves on Earth.If we want to travel it's up to the self.
some people do.......... but they are also poor. rich people don't care about other peoples. this situation is made possible by those kind of people: czcams.com/video/tegrFDRv28E/video.html

That lady needs a man not a cat to hold and support her!
Yep
She doesn't. She's a strong and self dependant woman. You can interpret this both ways. As sarcasm but also as a matter of.... somebody's... fact LOL
@@namelastname6744 She still needs a dude!
