Renewable Energy – Investment in the Future or an Illusion of Savings?

Do you agree with the statement that despite society’s investment in renewable energy sources, electricity prices have risen because energy companies aim to maintain their profits?

Although millions of people are investing in solar panels, electricity bills continue to rise. Increasingly, voices suggest that despite the energy transition and renewable energy support, major energy companies keep prices high to avoid losing profits from traditional sources. Companies, however, explain that rising costs are due to inflation, expensive grid modernization, and EU climate regulations. The debate continues over whether the transition truly lowers prices or merely shifts profits between sectors. Are we paying more for green energy because it’s more expensive – or because someone doesn’t want to lose from the change?

End of the Dollar’s Dominance? The Global Currency Battle for Power

Which currency or asset do you think could most threaten the dominance of the US dollar (USD)?

More and more analysts and politicians openly speak about the end of the “dollar era.” The Chinese yuan, especially in its digital form tied to the BRICS settlement system, is becoming a real geopolitical tool of pressure against the US. The euro, despite its strength, still suffers from the lack of a unified fiscal policy, while gold is regaining popularity as a safe alternative in an unstable world. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies, led by Bitcoin, symbolize a rebellion against traditional finance, although their decentralization makes true dominance difficult. In the background circulate theories about a planned “currency reset,” a new Bretton Woods system, and a controlled digitalization of the global economy. Will the dollar survive this revolution, or become a victim of its own power?

Should restaurants have the right to ban children?

Should restaurant owners be allowed to decide that children are not permitted to enter their establishments?

More and more restaurants are experimenting with child-free policies, explaining it as a matter of “guest comfort”. Supporters of these rules argue that in a free market, customers should decide – some will choose family-friendly places, others calm and quiet ones. Opponents warn, however, that this is not a matter of taste but a symptom of a deeper problem: society increasingly excludes children from public spaces, treating them as a nuisance rather than part of the community. For some, it’s a normal sign of diversity; for others, the beginning of social segregation. Is limiting children’s presence a sign of maturity or a loss of empathy?

American military equipment – alliance or dependence?

Do you think it makes sense to buy modern military equipment from the United States if, without U.S. authorization, the equipment practically loses its combat capabilities?

More and more often, people say that buying American military equipment is not an investment in security, but in dependence. F-35 jets, Patriot systems, or HIMARS launchers are technological masterpieces – yet without U.S. approval, they can turn into expensive scrap metal. Critics ask bluntly: can we speak of sovereignty if it depends on political obedience to the U.S.? Supporters argue that only through cooperation with the United States does Europe gain a real shield against aggression. However, each update, authorization, or repair becomes another link in the chain of control. So, is the American alliance a guarantee of security – or a quiet form of subordination?

US sanctions on Venezuela – aid, pressure, or self-interest?

In your opinion, the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Venezuela are mainly intended to:

U.S. economic sanctions against Venezuela have sparked heated debate for years – some see them as an attempt to defend democracy, others as a brutal tool of economic pressure. Officially, they aim to support the fight against Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarian regime, yet many now question whether the real goal is oil, geopolitics, and control over South America. Venezuela, with some of the world’s largest oil reserves, has long been a battleground for influence between the U.S., Russia, China, and Iran. Critics argue that sanctions mostly hurt ordinary citizens rather than the ruling elite. So is it really about human rights – or about maintaining dollar dominance and control over resources?

Time change

Do you think we should abolish daylight saving time?

If we were to permanently stick to one time, which do you think would be better for people and the economy?

For years, the issue of abolishing time changes has sparked huge controversy. Some argue it’s a relic of a bygone era – invented to save energy, though its purpose has long since faded. Others defend it stubbornly, citing “more sun after work” and its supposed impact on mood. Meanwhile, more and more studies show that changing the clocks disrupts the biological rhythm, increases the risk of heart attacks, and worsens sleep. Yet politicians continue to delay a decision, and the European Union cannot reach an agreement. Is daylight saving time an innocent tradition or a health experiment that has long spiraled out of control? Take part in the poll and decide!
