The battle going on in Australia is interesting. It is being described as the David and Goliath type situation, with the small news companies being supported by the altruistic Australian Government in order to get fair payment terms.
Except Australia has one of the most concentrated ownerships of media in the world. One man owns a lot of it and has plenty of influence in the Australian parliament.
So to me it looks like one rich guy trying to get a government to make another rich guy pay him money.
I don’t think I support either of them.
There are a lot of indexes available like the HHI or GENI which measure inequality. To me the higher the inequality the less stable the world becomes. The lower the inequality the more just the world becomes.
I am so glad I live in a country where we have a vaccine roll out by need, not by greed. I am seeing so many countries where the rich and powerful are first on the list.
