π¨ In the last 3 yrs the π 5 richest became 2X as rich: in the same time 5 billion become poorer π€―
As the rich & powerful politicians & business leaders meet in Davos for the World Economic Forum #WEF24, the richest 1% are being allowed to get richer & billions of people are sliding into poverty.
Since 2020, the richest five men in the world have doubled their fortunes. During the same period, almost five billion people globally have become poorer. Hardship and hunger are a daily reality for many people worldwide. At current rates, it will take 230 years to end poverty, but we could have our first trillionaire in [β¦]
Nick Dearden Director of Global Justice UK:
π₯·πΌAs the billionaires meet in #Davos2024, we release a report showing that their vast wealth is built on monopoly power. Their money is taken, not earned.π₯·πΌπ₯·πΌ
Weβve got to end the rule of the robber barons.

You can check out a video of the session here, and my question around 51 minute sums up my thoughts: https://www.weforum.org/open-forum/event_sessions/turning-back-the-clock-the-science-of-ageing/
RT by @VibattuEUspox: On @CNBC, I highlighted #EUGreenDialogues, our stepped-up engagement on the #EUGreenDeal, helping get the citizens and industries on board. It's also about where wealth and jobs will be created in the climate of fierce competition.

RT by @EUintheUS: We must continue our support to Ukraine. Ukraine needs:
- predictable financing,
- weapons
- hope i.e. a real perspective to join the EU.
Together, with allies and partners we can do it.
Thank you for the talks at #WEF24
