Utopia del calcio. In fondo Giovanni #Galeone ha scommesso sui sogni. I tifosi di calcio non chiedono altro: vogliono sognare. A #Pescara lo sanno bene. Ricordo di corse folli sulla spiaggia di notte con Mimmo Marcozzi, storico collega della Rai pescarese. Per ridere. E giocare.
Oggi è un molto giorno doloroso per tutto il popolo biancazzurro e non solo. Ci ha lasciati mister Giovanni Galeone. A lui dobbiamo pagine meravigliose della nostra storia e un’idea di calcio che ha ispirato generazioni.
Ciao “Profeta”
🎃 The #digitaleuro draft report is a real #Halloween trick. It swaps a public, inclusive euro for the ghost of private digital money - wanted by banks, for banks.
Europe’s money should serve the people, not corporate ambitions of a few big banks.

Greece is set to introduce 13-hour workday.
If an EU country is allowed to go back to labor standards of the 19th Century what Europe are we defending exactly?
We should not spend on rearmament, we should spend and legislate on welfare. https://t.co/HV3dfIyBh6
💬"Isn’t everything already digital?" We asked people about their payment habits, the future of #money, and the #digitaleuro.
Most had never heard of it. But it could reshape the money system as we know it.

Highway to Hitler:
"the building of the Autobahn network in Nazi Germany boosted popular support for Hitler... Support for the Nazis increased particularly strongly where highway construction coincided with greater radio availability – a major source of propaganda"

@EU_Commission SIU has useful proposals (better market integration, supervision, & Banking Union). But without a macro policy shift, investment won’t rise.

@EU_Commission 1⃣ Buying shares ≠ funding businesses. Most stock trading happens in secondary markets - investors trade with each other, not the companies.
2⃣ Even if households invested in firms' shares, they won’t invest unless there’s demand for their goods & services.
The @EU_Commission's SIU proposal stresses the need to shift household deposits into shares to drive productive investment. But does this really lead to economic growth? 🧐
Short answer: no. Here’s why 🧵👇
Annual government spending due to the new German fiscal package will be larger than the spending boom that came with the postwar Marshall Plan and with German Reunification in the early 1990s.

Cose che speravo di non dover vedere: un intero servizio di #FarWest contro la sugar tax. Un uso scandaloso e scadente del servizio pubblico, che sembra anteporre motivazioni industriali al diritto alla salute. Mai vista una cosa del genere, per giunta su @RaiTre. Che vergogna
