Last week's get-together in China featuring leaders from Russia, India, and North Korea (and Daniel Andrews) should be seen for what it is - a fundamental reorientation of global power away from the US.

A global minimum tax on the ultrarich could change planetary politics. Right now South Africa, Chile, France, and Spain are pushing for it
France could raise around €20 billion per year from this tax
That’s half of the €40B the government is looking for this year
Globally? $302–377 billion could be raised—every year
From the ultra-rich. Who currently pay very little.

Everything in this thread is 100% correct.
Just quickly: privatisation of essential services and utilities in the name of efficiency and improved quality doesn't work. The logic is that a for-profit business, subject to market mechanisms and competition, will be ruthlessly efficient and improve product/service quality.

400 years ago, a method of bartering for items of unequal value was called ‘hand in cap.’
An arbiter would propose a sum of money that the person with the more valuable item should receive to make the deal fair.
