Victims and aggressors
During the Cold War, the United States and Russia were presented as opposites, like Yin and Yang.

Billionaires are often squeezed by autocrats

Teleworking
Teleworking and flexible working hours have many advantages and are easy to implement. The legal framework is already in place, teleworking has been experimented during COVID, and many office tasks are now digitized and can therefore be performed remotely. This improves citizens’ lives without the need for politicians, voting, or conflict. With more teleworking, the…
