Évolution dans les pays à faible niveau d’inégalité

Près des deux tiers de la population mondiale vivent dans des pays où les inégalités augmentent.
Cela concerne notamment les pays nordiques, qui ont historiquement des niveaux d’inégalité faibles.

Complaints about intellectual diversity from the right are basically a coping mechanism to avoid the obvious explanation. There are few astrologers in the astrophysics department, because most people with advanced scientific education stop believing in astrology. But that explanation’s not allowed.

Au sujet du financement de la fête, l'ambassadeur indique avoir récolté plus de 5 millions de dollars auprès de plus de 220 donateurs. Une somme très importante en comparaison au million d’euros nécessaire pour organiser le 21 juillet au même endroit chaque année. Des entreprises et des particuliers, tant américains que belges, ont apporté leur contribution. Parmi les sponsors figurent des multinationales américaines telles que Meta, Microsoft, Nike et McDonald's, aux côtés des sociétés belges comme Leonidas, Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Sabena, Van Moer Logistics et Sibelco.
