Update 2024-27-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Definition of Crying: Having wet eyes in environments such as a cinema is considered crying.
Resolution Criteria: Based on how the media perceived the event.
Update 2025-06-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - As long as Schoof has not resigned, some market responses may remain active.
If the Cabinet-Schoof falls:
Most market responses will be resolved at that time.
Certain specific responses (e.g., a 'border patrol' related response mentioned by the creator) may remain open until a specific condition or time related to that response is met (e.g., a 6-month period).
@MarnixV it just fell around 10% from 2023 to 2024,and there is no full comparison for 2025 so will resolve no as well.
@TheWabiSabi apart from the questions about the cabinet falling, what do you consider the timeline for the questions? Does a demissionary cabinet Schools still count, or do all the questions resolve when the cabinet falls?
@EvdZ as long as Schoof hasn't resigned I will keep some up. For example they could still replace Faber if they continue.
If they fall today I will only keep the border patrol one open till next week (when it's 6 months).
@TheWabiSabi thinking about resolving this as No or N/A, even though Wilders announced his departed on X. What do you think?
@TheWabiSabi I think the root cause was his ten-point plan, presented during a press conference (not X). And his withdrawal was first announced by those present in the meeting this morning (not X). I'm invested in the outcome, but would argue for a No resolution.
@TheWabiSabi It looks to me like the cabinet is in agreement on a nitrogen approach: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/actueel/nieuws/2025/04/25/kabinet-presenteert-startpakket-om-vergunningverlening-weer-op-gang-te-brengen
Are there signs of dissenters within the cabinet?
Also, whether the courts or parliament will agree is a different matter.
@TheWabiSabi Presumably you mean combat troops or peacekeeping troops, as opposed to trainers, advisors, cyberwarfare troops or soldiers escorting dutch arms shipments, which may already be in the country.
@TheWabiSabi Pretty cool that someone put this on the list! Well done. I wouldn't have thought of it.
@TheWabiSabi The Instagram link seems to have died, but I watched the thing on YouTube. I have an interest in saying yes but I don't think I saw tears? More like he got 'stuck'?
@TheWabiSabi tough call. i haven't bet on this question, and i won't. But i would say NO, this isn't crying. he's barely holding it in, though.

@Sqeedee Agree, but what is a cry... just wet eyes? Or waterfalls on his face?
It's definitely a hard one...
@TheWabiSabi Maybe we can look at it somewhat objectively by looking at how media is responding to it, if they are using words like 'emotional' (geëmotioneerd).
Or we can compare it to similar recent moments of politicians crying:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0XT5We-qes
maybe that last one is also questionable.
I guess you can resolve it as yes.
I suspect we'll see Omtzigt cry some more anyway before the cabinet falls.
@Sqeedee if I was Omtzigt, I would have called it crying. But for me having wet eyes in a cinema is crying as well.
I will resolve yes later today, because of how the media percieved is.
@TheWabiSabi resolving this seems kind of premature? Omtzigt could still take a leave longer than 3 months? (Although I agree this leave was not longer than 3 months)
@EvdZ agree that this could be formulated better. If Omtzigt gets ill again I will unresolve this one, does that feel right?
