Who owns it? The EU should create an independent entity that owns this. Otherwise it will be nice until the guy sells it or goes weird.

โ€ผ๏ธ UNBELIEVABLE RESULTSโ€ผ๏ธ Hold my baguette while I count the people on bikes! How did Paris increase cycling by 240% in a few short years?

Not that we were speeding towards a more sustainable direction. We were barely dragging our feet, but that's too much for some.

Cities are what we imagine them to be. And what we're not giving away to for-profit entities.

The main thing he's selling is that people should compete with all other people, while the powerful work together to become more powerful.
And all his voters see is "hey, we're in a confrontation with Europe, we must win."

Everyday people need something simpler than Mastodon. It sounds great, but it hasn't been taking off for a while now...

Speaking of a democracy shield, it's time for an EU owned, people controlled social platform, to break free from the American billionaires' tech. Also, invest in EU mass-media to give free journalism a fighting chance in the face of state paid disinformation.

You can work an extra job, so you'll make a few more dollars. They can do nothing and the capital they accumulated will make them more millions/day. So yes, you can totally climb that ladder, if you work hard enough...
In order to get equal opportunities, we need to dismantle this bllsht system.

We need to make decisions that are not based on a childish and broken economic model. We need to prioritize principles and our common good more than we prioritize money.
Destroying is easy. Caring is a lot of work. But that is what gives you value.

Young men have been missing good role models for years and the whole world suffers: unfair competition, accumulation of power, politics of lies and hate, gang violence and wars. Money can't be the ultimate value we care about. Human values like trust, fairness and cooperation are essential.

It's not money and it's not power.
It's about caring.
The greatest quality in a man is when you have the power to destroy, but choose to love, to help, to build, to cooperate.

Joe who? His content always felt very cheap. The first time I heard of him, years ago, when he was getting big on Spotify, I checked out his show and he was just... empty. Too bad people lost their bulls*t detectors.

Some deep breaths are needed these days. We need to find the energy and the means to resist and push back against the 1%, to stop them from dragging us into the dark ages of cruel kings and no laws.
