I'd really be interested if that's showing an upper limit of what capitalism and globalization are capable of in terms of improving lives, meaning some inequality might be necessary to sustain them, or if the reasons are maybe more regional & political or more complex and geopolitical. 🤔

Criticism is very important but bashing a tool, that helps preserving democracy, is very problematic in my view.
I have a feeling this might also apply to the BBC by the way.

Mistakes happen, but the good thing about the most important 'freedom of press' is, that serious news outlets like the ÖRR mostly correct their errors.

If you want to help, speak out and demand change!
Some people change their profile pictures to purple and some sign this petition, that sadly got rejected by the South African government.
I signed the petition, and so can you, to show your support:

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?
