Dear fellow Europeans, I am respectfully asking you to consider signing this European Citizen Initiative to institute a billionaire tax. It was invented by leading French economist Thomas Piketty; I read the whole thing, and it is technically excellent. Hit me if you have questions, but please sign it, it is important.

Nous voulons un impôt européen sur les grandes fortunes pour financer la transition climatique et sociale et aider les pays victimes des dérèglements climatiques.

@alberto_cottica I don't know how many more people we can get to sign here on Masto. Maybe we should coordinate to send this same message on the other SNs in a burst? What about posting on all of them this Sunday 19:00 UTC (20:00-22:00 across the EU) so it becomes trending on Monday morning? Does it work like that? I don't have accounts on any other but Masto, so I don't know...
