The Telegraph: Asylum seekers ‘drain money from Dutch state for generations’
A study by IZA reveals that asylum seekers in the Netherlands impose a long-term financial burden on the state, primarily due to lower tax and social security contributions. The findings support the government's plans to reduce immigration significantly to alleviate pressure on public services.
The Dutch Right-wing coalition, led by Prime Minister Dick Schoof, aims to cap the population at 20 million by 2050, implementing stringent asylum policies to cut arrivals by 100,000 annually. The expected lifetime cost of asylum seekers is estimated at €400,000 each.

Fox News: Can I outsmart thieves with a hidden AirTag in RFID wallet?
Apple AirTags can help track vehicles but may not effectively deter car thieves, especially those with iPhones who can detect them. Using RFID wallets won't block AirTag signals, as they operate on Bluetooth and Ultra-Wideband technology.
For better security, consider GPS trackers or physical deterrents like steering wheel locks. While Faraday bags can block AirTag signals, they also prevent tracking, making them a double-edged sword. Combining security methods is recommended.
