🛜Communiquer en off-grid, sans Internet ou antenne 5G ? Une nécessité à l’heure où les black outs se multiplient (Palestine, Iran, Ukraine, Russie).

RT: @rcbregman Over 80% of people want a wealth tax for billionaires. Of course they’re resisting with their army of lawyers and lobbyists, but we’re building ours.
I’m so excited to be teaming up with @gabriel_zucman 👉
The report on global inequality, commissioned during South Africa’s G20 presidency, shows that between 2000 and 2024, the richest 1% captured 41% of all new wealth, while the poorest half of the world received just 1%.
This is not sustainable.
Following California implementing a law raising its minimum wage to $20 for more than 500,000 fast-food workers in the state in 2024,
Christopher Thornberg, founding partner of research firm Beacon Economics, offered a warning about the state raising its minimum wage.
“California’s well-intended push to reduce income inequality via wage floors is beginning to have a significant negative impact on some of our most vulnerable workers
—our youth, particularly those from lower-income households,”
he wrote earlier this year.
His concerns echoed those of fast-food franchise owners, one of whom told Fortunein 2024 that higher wages would be unsustainable for smaller chains with slim margins.
But nearly two years after the law’s passage, economists are seeing very different results than what was initially feared.
A working paper from University of California at Berkeley released this month found the policy increased average weekly wages for eligible workers by 11% and did not reduce employment.
Prices increased modestly, about 1.5%, or the equivalent of about six cents for a $4 item.
“The results are nowhere as dire as predicted,”
Michael Reich, the study author and chair of the Center on Wage and Employment Dynamics at UC Berkeley, told Fortune

En décembre dernier, l'auteur et militant Cory Doctorow @pluralistic donnait une conférence au 39C3 intitulée « L'internet post-étatsunien ». Notre groupe de bénévoles Framalang vous propose la traduction de la transcription de cette.
Il y est notamment question de lois anti-contournement, d'IA, de la merdification d'internet, et de guillotiner quelques technofascistes… Mais il y est aussi question de coalitions… et d'espoir ! ✊

Yesterday I had the incredible opportunity of giving a presentation for the service numérique of the French Ministry of Culture, as part of their experiment with the Mastodon instance @cercle
My talk: "The Fediverse: the original promise of the internet"
It was super inspiring to listen to all the talks of the participants, from the @palaisdetokyo to @LeMuseum. And the results of the poll by @imacrea were fascinating! I will write more soon. For now: THANK YOU for having me there ❤️
