If you are a citizen of any EU Member State, I implore you to consider signing the Tax-the-Rich citizens' initiative:
https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/
The idea is to tax the super rich and then use the money for climate transition.
This is an official EU citizens' initiative, meaning that if it reaches certain thresholds, it *will have to be* considered by the EU institutions. That's a really powerful tool, if actually used.
So we should use it.
@rysiek Hi, this morning I shared your posting here and did post it on X and bluesky with very good feedback and of course I signed it myself. But strange enough: On the related EU initiative details site ( https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2023/000006_en ) the number of signatures (‚Statements of support’ / Germany) has NOT changed since this morning…
@wolfmaahn @rysiek I think that these counters in the table may be manually updated by the organisers every now and then? Since it's in the middle of text etc...
@schrottkatze @rysiek I thought so, too, but wouldn’t that be unbelievably ‚retro‘ ?
@wolfmaahn @schrottkatze it might not be manual, but automatically crunched every N hours, for example.
