Europe goes into daylight saving time despite controversy.
Most Europeans woke up on Sunday clocks that jumped forward by one hour.
The twice-annual time change has long been contentious and was even voted against in an EU open consultation back in 2018.
Hi Fedi!
Have you ever thought "We should prohibit publishers from irrevocably disabling video games they have already sold" ?
You're in luck!
The UK petition for it is open for signatures!

For the EU, here's your reminder that the ECI petition is still open: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
You might as well do your yearly round of signing petitions while you're at it. They all last for a year and most are about subjects that are even more important than video-games: https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/find-initiative_en?CATEGORY%5B0%5D=any&STATUS%5B0%5D=ONGOING&SECTION=ALL
For everywhere else, or just more details, there's always the website: https://www.stopkillinggames.com

true obscenity is when individuals with extreme unearned wealth get to avoid paying a tiny percentage in tax back to the society where they live
thank you so much for speaking plainly about something so frigging important
**Thank you!**
We have one weekend left where this can go viral. I think it is still possible.
Heck, I guess there a million people in #greece alone who would sign this if they get to see it!
Germany and France have over 100,000 signatures each. We need visibility in Eastern and Southern Europe, Portugal and my own homeland #Ireland.
EU governments miss 33 million euros per hour in unpaid taxes from Europe’s super-rich
Nearly 7 in 10 Europeans agree on taxing the rich to support the poor. #oxfam together with economists, multi-millionaires, and politicians, backs a European Citizens’ Initiative for a European wealth tax.
We have one week left to try to address this through the #europeancitizensinitiative #taxtherich
Please sign. Please share as widely as you can.

If you are lucky enough to live in the #europeanunion, you can sign this official #europeancitizensinitiative petition to require a proposal from the #europeancommission regarding fair taxation:
1 week to go. 1 million signatures needed. Signing takes 1 minute. Please sign. Please share widely with your friends in all of #europe.
@TwraSun wir haben gerade eine Möglichkeit das auf EU-Ebene, mit diesem Volksbegehren, zu ändern. 1 Million Unterschriften bis 9. Oktober, wir sind gerade bei 330.000
I hate meta as much as the next mastodonian. But came out of my years of Facebook exile to craft this masterpiece, you have far more reach than me, you can do it too!
Speak directly. People know unfairness when they see it. There are 450 million EU citizens. We can do our best to reach all of them.
My dear Mastodonians, now is your time to shine. The #taxtherich #europeancitizensinitiative is super-popular in our bubble. But now we need to get to 1 million signatures quickly, before October 9.
Write to your Facebook friends. Write to your friends via email. To those outside the bubble. Write in your own European language. Your uncle and auntie are not in the bubble but are also fed up of this injustice where they pay so much tax. And the super-rich pay so little.

This is important - it is an official parliamentary petition, not simple clicktavism, takes about two minutes, it can make a difference for our democracies in Europe.
Sign the petition here:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/#/screen/home
If you sign, please *share* as widely as you can, especially with real-life friends.
A friend of mine noticed that I was busy with my phone, asked me what I was doing. He's one of the wealthiest people I know. I told him, he signed :)

We (the rest of us, the 99%) have to work for a living. We pay more tax than the ultra-rich, on our earned income. On top of that, we pay VAT every time we go to the supermarket.
The ultra-rich are not interested in well-funded public services. They want a state which is in debt, so all state assets need to be privatized.
If you are an EU citizen, please sign and share. We need 1 million signatures before October 9. We are currently at 321,569.

I support #TaxTheRich
‘The richest one per cent of the world's population own almost half the wealth. The same ultra-rich emit more CO2 than the poorer half of the world.’
Sign this #EuropeanCitizensInitiative for a fairer and more sustainable world.
EDIT: only sign if you ‘earn’ less than €1,000 in interest, dividends, share profits DAILY!

So, thanks to the help of our native Greek speakers, we now also have a Greek version of the #EuropeanCitizensInitiative for a #WealthTax.
As you can see from the interactive map I posted, the Initiative still lacks traction in Scandinavia, but also in Central and Eastern Europe.
If you are a (near) native speaker of any of the flags that have not been translated so far, please help out with proofreading.
Thanks
