That being said #CreditUnions are obviously better and my #bank is a #cooperative where I'm also a #shareholder and everyone only can get 1 voting share maximum, regardless if they buy €11 or €11.000 in shares.
- Similarly #PublicBanks are common with #Sparkasse being the big one that basically has to offer people accounts (abeit at shit terms) and can only fire clients if they commit felonies [against the bank or it's employees] like Money Laundering with it.
But: THOSE ARE NOT "SOLUTIONS" FOR THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS!
You know what would be?
- A #LivingWage as the mandatory. exceptionless #MinimumWage!
Right Now #Germany is on track to reach €15/hr and [as of writing] the Mininmum Wage in Germany is €12,82 [or U$D 15,19 as of current exchange rate].
- OFC that is before taxes and fees but #HealthcareInsurance isn't a #perk but mandatory provision here...
