While the rest of Europe saw falling living standards, under Fidesz Hungary saw a 30% gain in inflation-adjusted wages in 5 years. Remarkable. The new government have no plan and are vandals, they will quickly reverse this progress. Sad. 🇭🇺 https://t.co/IXgqJXsxB6 #Hungary #Fidesz #Inflation #HU
Excellent comment by @BrankoMilan: Don’t ask me about my profits, but let’s talk about your wages. How Western capitalists use China-bashing to deflect attention from their soaring profits https://t.co/nGfnnq8UBU #ChinaBashing #Capitalism #Wages #CN #US
Populism wasn’t created by Russia, social media or AI. It grew where liberal democracies stopped listening. Globalisation’s winners and losers. Immigration. Stagnating wages. CEO pay. Housing. AI replacing entry-level careers. If democracies want to defeat populism, they first have to understand why it became persuasive.

Russia wages war not only with missiles, but with narratives. Masha and the Bear is part of the Kremlin's soft power, embedding pro-Kremlin and militaristic messaging in children's entertainment while normalising Russia's aggression and imperial ambitions.

The European Correspondent has an excellent article about what is planned within the EU and how the budget will be handled by national governments, the EU Parliament, political groups within the EU Parliament and political parties in all EU countries. I think we as voters have a duty to take an interest in the handling of substantive politics. It's amazing how political leaders don't have a clue about macroeconomics. They talk about a lack of resources when there is high unemployment and unused productive capacity due to the market shrinking when fiscal policy reduces purchasing power instead of increasing it and redistributing it to those who need it. Then the state's tax revenue also increases and the national debt decreases. Left-wing parties in Belgium and the government's own experts have shown it. But a right-wing-dominated government is terrified of even bending its knees and begging the wealthy to be so kind as to pay taxes. SEE MY PREVIOUS POST, only on FB, about the magnificent incompetence of politicians. This does not only apply in Sweden. The International Monetary Fund, IMF; has pointed out that a redistribution of taxes from Wages to Capital is necessary in both Belgium, Sweden and other countries, as the lack of financial policies constrain economic growth.. Governments allow themselves to be paralyzed by the size of the national debt in relation to the economy, when the real problem is too little government revenue due to low GDP growth. And in Sweden, the SD-led right-wing government has been criticized for reducing government revenue relative to the need for investment and misallocating wage earners' income to the disadvantage of those who would, through demand, increase the capacity utilization of existing capital. The job politicians should do is to boost the economy with investments and a redistribution of taxes from wages to capital, including capital transactions and sustain welfare, which is why we work to ameliorate conditions of life and living.
"If AI shifts the balance of economic value from labor to capital, with autonomous systems increasingly generating output that once required human workers, then wages become a less reliable mechanism for distributing prosperity" (translated)
The inflation redistribution machine running full steam again. Energy prices are the largest contributor to inflation. Inflation pushes down real wages making the vast majority poorer. The flip side of high energy prices is windfall profits benefitting the richest of the rich. https://t.co/r0LceUtaIe #Inflation #EnergyPrices #WealthInequality #Therearenospecificcountriesmentionedinthetweet.Therefore #theresultisempty:
Remiantis 2026 metų EBPO ataskaita „Taxing Wages“, Šveicarija užima pirmąją vietą Europoje pagal vidutinį metinį bruto atlyginimą, o Lietuva, su 28 474 eurų metiniu atlyginimu, yra tarp šalių, kurių atlyginimai vis dar nesiekia 30 tūkst. eurų per metus, tačiau geresni rodikliai pasiekiami, vertinant perkamąją galią. #atlyginimai #Europatai #perkamąjągalia
End the super-exploitation of workers! Why should anyone be allowed to be legally paid less than the minimum wage? The minimum wage as it is is already below a living wage. This government is allowing business to lower standards and wages for everyone. #EndSubMinWage https://t.co/mYcoR2MrQ9 #EndSuperExploitation #MinimumWage #FairWages #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.
