Idk what’s worse, that they shared the name of it or what they actually picked as the name 😭

“Brussels should propose those tariff lists as soon as this week.” Looking forward to what they can come up with

From what I notice in the Netherlands. The people who think the EU does not benefit them are mostly people that work (or own companies) in industries that the EU regulates harshly (think farmers here). Ofc these people think its not beneficial to be in the EU, their livelihoods are at risk because of it.

I do think the EU is basically necessary for the EU countries to thrive.

Completely agree than if we make small changes we can have a big impact together / over time. The issue is that these small changes usually come at a cost (financially, time consuming, effort, etc) that young people just cannot really afford easily.

My message was written more to give the perspective of young people already struggling. If you’re stressing each day about making rent and putting food on the table, why would you take the time to be worried about global issues? It’s really just thinking about the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

Also a question in the regard, what can we influence? The work we do and what we do with our money or culture and climate? 1 is something we have basically direct impact on (and that directly impacts our daily life) the other is basically caused by the top 1% (people and companies) and making our small impact even smaller doesn’t change much and also won’t let us garuantee we can eat tomorrow.

I am a big supporter of being more climate friendly, but I also don’t think we individuals can make a big dent. We can make small impacts by changing our buying patterns and choosing more ecological when financially possible, but that’s also coming from a position of having the privilige to have enough time and money to focus on that.

I’d love if there was a way to hook this onto apps like discord to automatically compress images too big to upload
