“Tax the Rich” EU initiative agony
The formal proposal that would have imposed EU to discuss the initiative is about to be abandoned, having obtained only ~1/3 of the necessary votes across Europe, while only some days are left now.
The complicated voting system result at this moment, at this time, is quite original (see the figure) as we discover both German and French people did strongly support (countries in black) while some neigbors generally considered poorer didn’t reach this level -maybe due to unsufficient awareness?
If you are (very) optimistic you still can go and add your vote (try recruiting followers outside France and Germany!) but really we literally have only days left now…
(even if probably useless, doing this is really interesting to learn the way it works -and there are many other proposed initiatives ongoing that may please you too)

Free lunches, brain breaks and happy teachers: why Estonia has the best schools in Europe
How did #Estonia, a small country that is relatively poor compared with most of the EU, become an educational powerhouse?
In the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa) rankings, which measures 15-year-olds’ abilities in maths, reading and science, the top spots are held by a handful of Asian countries, but Estonia ranks next – the best in Europe.
Its teachers are highly educated, the focus is on social and personal skills as much as academic learning and the typical curriculum is packed with a wide range of subjects, from robotics to music and arts.

Russian General Admits Ukraine Just a 'Stepping Stone' to Invade Europe
Ukraine "is only the beginning," Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev warned in a recent interview.Jason Lemon (Newsweek)
Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday it would deem all ships travelling to Ukrainian ports to be potential carriers of military cargo and their flag countries to be parties to the conflict on the Ukrainian side.
The move follows Russia's decision this week to pull out of the U.N.-brokered Black Sea grain export deal which had guaranteed the safety of Ukrainian exports for the past year.

What's #NATO's plan to prevent this?
Or is it just the usual "expressing our concern, are monitoring the situation, and talking to our partners" bullsh** that #Putin couldn't care less about?
First the dam blown up.
No reaction. No consequence.
What next? What's the deterrent? Anyone?

Moving beyond growth is not only desirable — it is essential
VIEW | The pursuit of growth at all costs has created a global economic system that is fragile and vulnerable to shocks, and this needs to change, a group of European Parliament Members (MEPs) write.Euronews (Euronews.com)
"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.
In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."
