Union?! (successfully) by the governments concerned.? Their argument amounts
to moral blackmail. Ihey threaten to make huge masses of employees redundant
overnight if the governments dont comply with their wishes. Ihe strongest car
manufacturing concerns follow suit.? Iheir CEOs have "forgotten" about the
enormous profit they garnered by cheating when they seemingly complied with
the environmental requirements of the EU. They also neglect the change that can
be expected to take place in the role of car travel. The meat factory where the most
acute centre of the epidemic in Europe came to be formed owing to the exploitative
work done there also applied for state subsidy.”
The Covid-19 pandemic is causing significant economic and social traumas.
There seems to be a break in the dominance of global economic centres often
operating in symbiosis with the public administrative organs of the different states.
Therefore the time has come for a new approach to prevail in the European Union,
which is based on the European value system, a system that first slowed down and
later stopped exploitation and the destruction of the environment, which puts an
end to exploitation, reforms the culture of consumption and prefers the traditional
European values.
SYSTEMIC ERROR WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
The cycle continuing from production through consumption to the production of
waste and the destruction of the environment and going on to production again
is a systemic error that can be neither addressed nor corrected in the long term
