Our #culture is our real #capital and, in the long term, our real strength. Tomorrow, another #country may become #richer or more technologically dynamic. A #civilization endures when its culture is strong, not because it accumulates a lot of possessions or maintains large armies.

Whoever thinks this will change overnight is gravely mistaken, #Europe DOES NOT EVEL BUILD A SINGLE SMART PHONE X-D #Europe is COMPLETELY dependant on #US and #China #infotec companies (so much for "#independence"?) a #EU #Army will not solve that problem X-D

A Global Minimum Wage Would Reduce Poverty And Corporate Power - PopularResistance.Org

In today’s world of widespread poverty and unprecedented wealth, how about raising the wages of the most poorly-paid workers? This October, the World Bank reported that “8.5 percent of the global population―almost 700 million people―live today on less than $2.15 per day,” while “44 percent of the global population―around 3.5 billion people―live today on less than $6.85 per day.” Meanwhile, “global poverty reduction has slowed to a near standstill.” In early 2024, the charity group Oxfam International noted that, since 2020, “148 top corporations made $1.8 trillion in profit, 52 percent up on 3-year average, and dished out huge payouts to rich shareholders.”
