For perspective: Isn’t 400 euro something like 50 hours at minimum wage (pre-tax) in the Netherlands?

Actually yes, you are quite spot on. This is like 50 hours of pre tax work for a person earning minimun wage (and among immigrant communities, this is not rare or out of the ordinary actually).

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
