In our European energy transition, the focus is now on competitiveness of our industries and on affordability for households.

Would you stop work? Just tell them you’re not coming in until this is over? What would that look like? Would you get fired? Would you still get fired if your whole team or half your division refused to work? If your union was ready to strike over it?
Maybe you can’t stop work. Maybe you’re unemployed. Maybe you’re retired. Maybe you still have people to take care of — from your income, or as part of the job you do. •Think• about it. What •could• you stop, work or otherwise? How could you prepare for that, save now, be ready?

When it's observable that the very rich are steadily growing richer while the vast majority of people are growing poorer, it's obvious that the tax system is not neutral: it is actively redistributing wealth upwards. For the tax system to be neutral, it MUST tax the very rich much more. To do so is not redistributive, at least until it actively causes a net movement of wealth towards the poor: rather it is simply neutral.

If you know something about Basic Income, you may be aware that

In 1797, after a stint in a French prison, Paine wrote the pamphlet
"Agrarian Justice",

Sweden has had a stated goal of economic equality for 20 yrs, but the income gap between men and women remains the same. Capital is the blind spot. Women own less, save less and therefore benefit from significantly lower capital returns than men.
Additionally, capital is taxed less than wages which further reinforces the inequality. As long as Sweden's rules put more resistance in women's paths than in men's, capital, power and security will primarily benefit men.

Billionaires with $1 salaries
– and other legal tax dodges the ultrawealthy use to keep their riches
Billionaires can enjoy growing wealth entirely free of income tax and reporting
Mark Zuckerberg was the lowest-paid employee at Meta in 2024,
and he made US$1.
But he is not the only very rich person who has collected $1 for a year’s work.
Why would incredibly rich CEOs make only $1 a year when they could pay themselves millions?
The reason is taxes…

Tying housing costs to homelessness rates, researchers have identified inflection points:
🔸When rents in a community exceed about a third of the median income, homelessness escalates.
🔸“As the share of low-income households with severe rent burdens grows, so does their risk of homelessness,”
said Thomas Byrne of Boston College, an author of the study.
Gregg Colburn, a housing expert at the University of Washington, found that

The shutdown is starting to bite
– and throw Trump’s architectural folly into sharp relief.
On Saturday, with Congress still locked in a legislative stalemate,

Democrats accuse Trump’s Republican party of “weaponising hunger” to pursue an extreme rightwing agenda.

The January wildfires that ripped through Los Angeles forced the state to spend billions in disaster aid
-- and delay tax filings for LA residents.
The cost of Medi-Cal,
the state-run health insurance program for low-income residents, ballooned to $6 billion more than anticipated.
Donald Trump’s on-again-off-again tariff policies rocked the stock market,
which California heavily relies on for tax revenue.
And the state lodged a flurry of lawsuits again…

Approximately 18% of SNAP recipients are over 60.
That’s over 7 million people.
A lot of those people have few options to generate more income.
