Maastricht Students For Liberty

Calorie caps or consumer choice? https://bit.ly/2V3MM6l
"I've been to conferences that told me to "speak your mind", but did very little to support it once it diverged from a certain narrative. I've heard politicians tell me that they're interested about the concerns of young people, but only as long as those young people don't actually challenge their policies. I've heard people tell me that "for my own good" I'd better not publish this article, not post this video, or not voice that opinion somewhere. In Students For Liberty, there are a lot of people who were told the same. In some countries they're fined, in others imprisoned. However, SFL conferences aren't events where we indulge in self-pitying; instead, we organise, we find solutions for the future, we connect with entrepreneurs, we challenge policy-makers. Most importantly, we continue. The world is getting more prosperous despite the attempts of many to hold it back. Nationalism and socialism are a threat to the young people of today, and they need someone to empower them to stand up to whomever pretends to limit their freedom "for their own good". The people of Students For Liberty are that someone. The message is clear: we're not going anywhere.” - Bill Wirtz, freelance and former SFL International Executive Board Member #SFLStory #SFLove European Students For Liberty

Happy Birthday, Ayn Rand!
Jon Bloostein operates six New York City restaurants that employ between 50 and 110 people each. The owner of Heartland Brewery and Houston Hall, Bloostein said the effect of the higher minimum wage on payroll across locations represents "an immense cost" to his business. "We lost control of our largest controllable expense," he told CBS MoneyWatch. "So in order to live with that and stay in business, we're cutting hours."

"We are living in a new era of ‘Nudge’. Over the past decade, a growing number of academics and policymakers have made the moral case for the state to use its coercive power to steer our choices towards what they believe best – provided we retain the ability to opt out of the specified choice at a relatively low cost. Yet are these sensible ideas, likely to maximise wealth and wellbeing, or is there always the danger that gentle nudges will turn into intrusive diktats or embolden the Nanny State? Can paternalism ever be libertarian?"

"An individual’s sexual identity has absolutely no bearing on their ability to safely own and operate a firearm. Whether you care more about gun rights or LGBTQ rights, you shouldn’t avert your eyes from this injustice. The ATF, in their directive to bar gun dealers from transferring firearms to individuals who refuse to select “male” or “female,” are worsening the status of a class of people predisposed to victimization."

Thank you all for coming and thank you Bill Wirtz for a great talk! An audio of the lecture to be released soon. Bill Wirtz: The European Case Against The European Union

"You might have expected Ireland’s partners in the European Union (EU) to look at that country’s success and think, ‘Here is something to be emulated.’ Instead, they see it as something to be stopped. As businesses choose to locate in Ireland rather than high tax jurisdictions elsewhere in the EU, those higher tax countries are attempting to force higher tax rates upon the Irish via the EU." Join us this Wednesday: Bill Wirtz: The European Case Against The European Union

Given Brexit and the recent rise of populist Eurosceptic movements around the European continent, debate about the future of the European Union and the values it is built on is important now more than ever. This begs the question: is the European Union really a representation of "European values"? Would the founding fathers of the EU agree with its current ambitions and goals? LINK IN COMMENTS! Bill Wirtz is a journalist and policy analyst from Luxembourg. Currently based in Brussels, he covers EU politics and policy. His works have been seen in France24, SkyNews, The Times of London, Le Monde, Le Figaro, Die Welt, or EUObserver. Follow him on Twitter @wirtbill.

"In fact, DIY firearms ranging in sophistication from muskets to grenade launchers exist in the millions across the planet, according to a new report that should (but won't) finally demonstrate to government officials the futility of efforts to disarm people who insist on being free." https://bit.ly/2zCXBE9 If you would like to further discuss Gun Control, visit us this Wednesday at Universty College Maastricht - Event in comments.

Stage Public Affairs Considerati zoekt vanaf 1 februari 2019 een nieuwe Public Affairs-stagiair(e) om ons team voor 5 of 6 maanden te versterken op onze kantoren in Den Haag en Amsterdam. Wil jij onze PA-consultants ondersteunen bij projecten voor grote nationale en internationale bedrijven, o.a. over digitale technologie, nieuwe media en internet? Dan is deze stage iets voor jou! Functieomschrijving Je volgt de laatste Haagse en Brusselse politieke en maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen, brengt de achtergronden bij stakeholders en issues in kaart, stelt rapportages op, bent nauw betrokken bij de diverse projecten en hebt direct klantcontact. Zo leer je als stagiair(e) Public Affairs bij Considerati in een paar maanden wat het PA vak inhoudt. Je werkt onder begeleiding van de consultants, maar je hebt ook een sterke eigen verantwoordelijkheid. Initiatief wordt zeker beloond! Door op hele diverse dossiers het uitzoekwerk te doen, zorg je ervoor dat je binnen korte tijd echt de diepte in gaat. Zo kan jij inhoudelijk advies uitbrengen en voorzie je onze consultants en klanten van alle relevante informatie.

Wat vragen we? • Je volgt een relevante universitaire opleiding, zoals Bestuurskunde, Rechten, Communicatiewetenschappen of Politicologie. Maar het belangrijkste is dat je kennis hebt van politiek, openbaar bestuur en besluitvormingsprocessen in Den Haag en Brussel. • Je hebt interesse in de ontwikkelingen in het digitale domein en de maatschappelijke en politieke impact van innovaties. • Je volgt maatschappelijke en politieke ontwikkelingen op de voet, en bent zelf actief betrokken bij een politieke partij en/of vereniging. • Je kunt je snel in nieuwe ontwikkelingen verdiepen en bent in staat verschillende taken tegelijk zorgvuldig uit te voeren. • Je hebt goede communicatieve vaardigheden, zowel in Nederlands als Engels. • Je bent proactief en initiatiefrijk en kunt zowel in een team als zelfstandig functioneren. • Je bent enthousiast en wilt graag leren. • Je bent full-time beschikbaar voor 40u per week. • Je hebt zin om op onze kantoren in Den Haag en Amsterdam werkzaam te zijn. Interesse? Enthousiast geworden na het lezen van onze vacature? Mail dan je cv met korte motivatie en beschikbaarheid naar Daan Eijwoudt, eijwoudt@considerati.com. Als stagiair(e) krijg je iedere dag de kans om het beste uit jezelf te halen en bij te dragen aan het succes van Considerati. Wij werken hard om iedere dag het beste advies aan onze te geven en gaan graag deze uitdagingen samen met jou aan. Considerati biedt een marktconforme stagevergoeding, afhankelijk van de duur en de intensiteit van de stage. Eventuele reiskosten worden vergoed.

"The communist ideology in its purest form might be separated from its implementations, but at what point does its awful track record discredit any attempts to advocate it?"

Why Halloween Costumes Used to Be Terrible? - Richard N. Lorenc ______ "The next time you compare our screen-accurate costumes of Darth Vader and Mr. Incredible to those of yesteryear, remember that we enjoy them today not because previous generations didn’t care for accurate costuming, but because growing trade across the globe has generated so much wealth for each of us that we can now demand things we may have only imagined previously."

"The War on Drugs is a bad idea. Not because people should be using drugs, but rather because the societal harm of prohibition is much greater than the societal harm of legalization." - Daniel J. Mitchell on The War on Drugs. Link in the comments!
