I definitely agree with you and Dalio. There's plenty of evidence that capitalism is not working properly or effectively, and that it is indeed broken.

It's unsettling how some people equate a ballooning stock market bubble with a vibrant economy. And disturbing that they then tell us that we have nothing to worry about, cuz everything's fine. It aint fine, and a major crash / collapse is coming. Soon.

As for that hagelslag, I'm surprised you ate it on plain bread. We often toasted our bread first, meaning that the butter would melt, along with some of the hagelslag, making a delicious creamy topping. And hagelslag on ice cream is another real treat.

But the thing I miss most is .... Dutch salted licorice / dropjes. MMMmmmmm.
