Was ist eigentlich normal? Mit dieser Frage kannst du eine Zeitreise machen.

Früher: Überall rauchen, nicht angeschnallt fahren, jede Menge Fleisch essen.

Heute: Rauchen nur draußen, Sicherheitsgurt, immer öfter vegetarisch essen.

Und wie sieht die Zukunft aus?

Das haben wir in der Hand. Wollen wir grüne Innenstädte, in denen Kinder sicher zur Schule radeln, klimafreundliche Ernährung und eine zukunftsfähige Energieversorgung?

🌱 Heute ist Klimafreitag, und wir möchten gern erfahren, welches “Normal” du dir wünschst.

Billionaires are a Menace to Society...

"Let me put it this way: if you made $10,000 a week – a princely sum by the standards of most people – you would have to work every week from the year of Jesus’s birth until this week to earn over a billion dollars. To earn as much as Elon Musk’s net worth at that rate – currently $180bn, according to Forbes – you’d have to work every week for more than a third of a million years – that is, since before Homo sapiens first emerged in Africa....

... billionaires are a menace to the rest of us: their sheer political size warps our public life. Disproportionately older, white and male, they function as unelected powers, a sort of freelance global aristocracy who are too often trying to reign over the rest of us. Some critics think that the supergiant tech corporations that have spawned so many modern billionaires operate in ways that resemble feudalism more than capitalism, and, certainly, plenty of billionaires operate like the lords of the Earth while campaigning to protect the economic inequality that made them so rich and makes so many others so poor. They use their power in arbitrary, reckless and often environmentally destructive ways."

Sadly, as more information comes out about #AnthonyMcRae , he may have been undiagnosed and untreated from early on in his life.

Doubly sad is that he had numerous run ins with the legal system and should not have had a gun.

The many weaknesses in our society allows killers to act in mental illness disturbances and hurt innocent people.

Third of world #economy to hit recession in #2023, #IMF head warns

“Why? Because the three big economies – the #US, #EU and #China – are all slowing down simultaneously,”

“We expect one-third of the world economy to be in #recession. Even countries that are not in recession, it would feel like recession for hundreds of millions of people,”
