Depuis ce matin, les femmes travaillent officiellement gratuitement en France… jusqu’à la fin de l’année.
Gratuitement, car elles gagnent encore 14,2 % de moins que les hommes à temps de travail équivalent.

We already have more than we expected (thanks everyone!), but there is no harm in trying to raise even more money. So if you can, donate, if you can't, or already did so, please help by spreading the message:

They're pushing so hard for AI because (when hypothetically fully functional) it allows wealthy access to skill while restricting those with skill from accruing wealth. It uses theft of the past to steal the future from humanity and give its riches to the already rich

The rules of SNCF
1️⃣ We dislike running any train that goes at less than 300km/h
2️⃣ We dislike it *even more* if someone else would like to run trains instead of us

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

Looking at the European Union primarily from an economic lense is the original sin of many people in UK.
Even those "pro-EU" with good intentions.
Overall, the true ambition of the Union, an "ever closer union", is to turn fully into a new form of state beyond current members, and is lost on them.
