A big plea to you to support "Tax-the-Rich". The aim is to tax the super-rich in order to finance more climate protection. If this EU citizens' initiative reaches certain thresholds, it must be scrutinised. A powerful tool if it is used.

Looking for mods - June 2024
Same post as last month: https://lemm.ee/post/31353574
Hello everyone,
I noticed I have been the only mod here, which is usually bad practice. Anyone wanting to join me?
The community is quite laid back, so usually not a lot of work to do. Modlog is public so power tripping is usually quite obvious.
It’s better if you are a regular commenter here, but that’s about it. I would also prefer Europeans, as it's the topic of the community.
See you in the comments
