This is not surprising at all.

I was recently reading an article in the French newspaper Le Monde.

In Britain, corporations are increasingly using a special system called zero-hour contracts.

These contracts are designed to offer maximum flexibility for business owners, in order to reduce his risks. The employee is guaranteed nothing and must always be available.

« They send my hours on Sunday, but nothing is sure. Sometimes, they cancel the same day » says Yana Petticrew, a young Glasgow Scottish worker who has been on zero-hour contracts for nearly 10 years. « Life is hard. I can’t even plan a meeting with my friends next week, because my boss could call me at any time » Yana says. She can’t refuse, or her boss will get rid of her.

Labor unions say workers on zero hour contracts earn on average less than those who are not. In 2010, 168 000 british workers were on zero hour contracts. In 2024, 1.1 million british workers were on zero hour contracts.

Here is another things that stuns me. I learned that in Britain, employees have no boardroom representation. In France, all companies publically listed on the stock market are legally required to have union representatives on the board of directors.

For instance LVMH :

Why can’t british employee have board representatives?!

The UK system is rotten. Brits need to fight for change. They deserve better.

Unfortunately, there are millions of dumb people who are still kissing his ass.

Getting really tired of these super-rich motherfuckers claiming they are victims of society

When two wolves band together to offert you a piece of advice on the path you should follow in the woods, you should immediately become suspicious that something is not quite right

The EU dodged a bullet.

Thank you. To be fair, Reuters changed the title.

I’m super grateful to President Francois Hollande for introducing that law banning politicians found guilty of corruption from ever running again 🙏.

Francois Hollande gets a lot of shit, but he did good things.

Who would trust a deal with Donald Trump?

Mexico and Canada signed a huge trade deal with him in 2018, during his first term.

Trump signs new trade pact with Canada, Mexico leaders

“It’s been long and hard. We’ve taken a lot of barbs and a little abuse, but we got there” Trump said

👉 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46402977

Trump is reelected and suddenly he throws away everything he signed.

Who would trust this man? The Iranian leaders are less crazy than him.

The american elite managed to convince ordinary americans that evil foreigners are to blame for all their problems. This is something you notice if you follow US media.

They are just whining about how China, Europe, Mexico, Canada, the World Health Organization has been super unfair to them. Even Africa is blamed !

It’s complete non-sense.

• Lack of healthcare : Barack Obama tried a small improvement with his Affordable Healthcare Act. He faced unprecedented hatred. People accused him of being “radical communist”. He had to beg Congress members to pass the bill.

• Drugs : One criminal family, the Sacklers, bribed doctors and dentists to overprescribe oxicotyn. The FDA didn’t act until it was too late. The result was an unprecedented opioid crisis that quickly turned into a heroin crisis. Prosecutors refuse to prosecute the Sackler family.

• Bad infrastructure : George W. Bush spent $1 trillion dollar on the Irak war. Okay. What exactly did he get in return…? Are americans better off? Are Irakis better off? Contractors just swallowed the cash. China used their money to build a world class high speed train network.

• Gun violence : Well, they sell guns like candies. Any 18 year old psycho can easily purchase a gun and shoot up the local school or movie theater.

• Lack of affordable housing : American zoning rules prevent high density housing from being built. Look at San Francisco or LA. Individual houses but people are struggling to get a roof over their head.

Their problems are all caused by americans.

But unfortunately, many of them now think the rest of the world is to blame.

3 simple things that everyone can do.

1. Use Mozilla Firefox as your default browser

Avoid Google Chrome, Apple Safari or Microsoft Edge.

Mozilla Firefox is an amazing open source, privacy-focused and secure browser.

2. Don’t give your data to facebook

Why are you telling Meta your gender, your date of birth, or the city where you live ?

Facebook doesn’t need to know any that. The more information they have about you, the more money they make. If you still use facebook, go to your profile right now. Delete these informations. It takes 30 seconds.

Remember to also visit Facebook privacy settings. So many don’t do that.

Do not allow “personalized advertising”

3- Install the uBlock extension

uBlock is an incredibly powerful Firefox extension

https://ublockorigin.com/

It is designed to block invisible advertising trackers that gather data about you. But it also eliminates a significant number of ads. That makes browsing the internet significantly faster.

This is super basic stuff. It takes 2 minutes.

I have actually gone a lot further. But I wish more people did the basic stuff.
