O, taj ludi, ludi svet... Dakle, na zapadu se pojavljuju, hajde da kažem reakcije na to da sve više dece koja su rođena sa oštećenjem sluha odmah dobijaju implante kako bi povratila sluh, ali da ih to onda otima iz "kulture gluvih" što neki poistovećuju sa, wait for it, genocidom. Ne bih se osvrtao na ovakve stvari da o tome ne piše cenjeni Medium.com...


https://medium.com/matter/22979c8ec9d6

QuoteMore than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing parents, so this culture is not inherited—it is discovered, via mentors and peers. And by helping deaf children to hear, implants make that discovery less likely. So for many Deaf people, every implanted child is a person stolen from their culture. Some call the process cultural genocide. That's why the Reids' decision was so profound. Just by doing what parents do—loving their child and fighting for what's best for her—they had to decide whether to contribute to what might be the death of a culture.

Prelepo:
French workers now have legal right not to be contacted after they leave the office

Quote
  It's an international version of the postcode lottery. The dateline lottery, if you like, which means that if you are born in Limoges rather than Lancaster, you're likely to live longer. The 2013 list of life expectancy compiled by the World Health Organisation has France in 13th position and the United Kingdom way behind in 29th spot.
       The average life expectancy for these two countries, separated only by 23 miles of waterway, is 82.3 years and 81 years respectively. While it may not seem much of a difference at this remove, it's something those Britons who are approaching their 81st birthdays might not be feeling too cheerful about.
We are repeatedly told that it is to do with the French diet, all that olive oil and fresh fruit and a glass of red wine with meals, which wards off heart disease. Anyone who's been to provincial France, however, and tried to buy something from a shop between noon and 3pm, or, depending on where you are, on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, might have stumbled upon the real reason for the greater longevity of the French. This is a place that still believes in half-day closing and taking lunch breaks. This is a country that has a very different attitude towards work from some of its close Northern European neighbours. And the chances are that, if your work-life balance is tilted more towards life, you are going to live longer.
France is the only country in the world to have adopted a 35-hour working week and this is strictly enforced. So much so that, yesterday, an agreement was signed between bosses and unions representing more than a million white-collar employees that would strike the average British worker as an edict from Cloud Cuckoo Land. It is a legally enforceable deal that means workers should not be contacted once they have left the office. It is as if the smartphone had never been invented (and yes, I know, many of us might hanker for a return to those days).
It's rather ironic that French businesses in the technology sector will not be allowed to urge their employees to check emails once they've done their day's work, and the unions will from now on be measuring what they are neatly calling "digital working time".
How quaint these ideas seem to us. Heaven only knows what the average British working week would be if digital hours were taken into consideration. No matter what time of the day or night, whatever we may be doing in our leisure hours, we are only a ping away from being back at a virtual desk. I rarely have dinner with anyone these days who isn't attached to their smartphone, waiting for a pause in the conversation so they can check their emails. Not good for digestion, not good for quality of life.
Here's the thing, too. French productivity levels outstrip those of Britain and Germany, and French satisfaction with their quality of life is above the OECD average. No wonder, we may say. We'd all like to take a couple of hours off for lunch, washed down with a nice glass of Côtes du Rhône, and then switch our phones off as soon as we leave work. It's just that our bosses won't let us.
 

Naravno, ovo je prilično bizaran pokušaj nanny state inicijative koji će se verovatno završiti neslavno. Doduše i jeste teško naći zdrav balans između toga da čovek i njegov poslodavac imaju razuman odnos u kome je čovek povremeno na raspolaganju i izvan radnog vremena ali mu se zato ne broje sekunde koje je na poslu proveo pišući privetne mejlove (ili mu je lako da kaže "idem do banke na petnaest minuta" i niko mu ne prebacuje) i toga da radno vreme ne postoji i da si stalno i svugde na raspolaganju... Bojim se da prosta zakonska inicijativa nije dovoljna i na kraju krajeva ne rešava slučajeve gde ljudi žele da budi investirani u posao 24 sata..

UN su objavile interesantan izveštaj vezan za globalne statistike ubistava:

https://www.unodc.org/gsh/en/data.html

The Economist daje zabavan dajdžest:
The odds of being murderedDicing with death


Quote

CONGRATULATIONS: if you are reading this then you are not one of the 437,000 people whose lives ended as statistics in a grisly report on murder published on April 10th by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. The unfortunate half-million were all those around the world who were slain in 2012. The average person thus had roughly a one in 16,000 chance of being bumped off that year. But as the UN's figures make clear, there is no such thing as an average person. How can you shorten your odds of making it through 2014?

First, don't live in the Americas or Africa, where murder rates (one in 6,100 and one in 8,000 respectively) are more than four times as high as the rest of the world. Western Europe and East Asia are the safest regions. And the safest countries? Liechtenstein recorded no murders at all in 2012, but its population could fit in a football stadium. Among those countries whose populations number in millions, the safest is Singapore, which clocked up just 11 murders in 2012, or one killing per 480,000 people. In Honduras, the world's most violent country, one in every 1,100 residents was killed.

Next, be a woman. Your chance of being murdered will be barely a quarter what it would be were you a man. In fact, steer clear of men altogether: nearly half of all female murder-victims are killed by their partner or another (usually male) family member. But note that the gender imbalance is less pronounced in the rich world, probably because there is less banditry, a mainly male pursuit. In Japan and South Korea slightly over half of all murder victims are female.

Then, sit back and grow older. From the age of 30 onwards, murder rates fall steadily in most places. But not everywhere. Europeans are more at risk in middle age than in youth. European women cannot let their guard down even in retirement: those aged over 60 are more likely to be murdered than those aged 15-29. The UN speculates that this may be because they are more likely to have partners, and those partners are more likely to drink. Other studies have found that alcohol featured in half of murders in Australia, Finland and Sweden, making it a more common factor than any weapon.

And if you are killed? The chances are no one will be convicted. Worldwide only 43% of murders result in someone being put behind bars. This, too, varies hugely: whereas Europe's police solve eight out of ten murders and those in Asia clear up nearly half, three-quarters of killers in the Americas escape justice (a smaller share in North America; a higher one elsewhere in the region). As long as that continues, there is little reason to think that the region's fearsome murder rate will be tamed.

Meho Krljic

Zlata vredan Krugmanov tekst u New York Review of Books a preveden na Peščaniku. Prikaz je to knjige Kapital u Dvadesetprvom veku autora Tomasa Piketija koja, ugrubo, pokazuje da je i danas prihod od kapitala veći nego prihod od rada, kao i na kraju devetnaestog veka, da je, posebno u Americi ovo fenomen koji se podstiče relativno relaksiranim oporezovanjem tih prihoda, te da je ovo generator socijalne nejednakosti kako u Americi tako i u Evropi koja poslednjih tridesetak godina i sama ide u smeru olakšanja poreskih opterećenja vlasnika kapitala, ali ne i radne snage. Utoliko, kako kaže Krugman:

QuoteMeđutim, od 1970-ih, usporeni rast označio je porast udela kapitala, tako da su kapital i bogatstvo lagano krenuli nazad ka nivou Bel epoka. I ova akumulacija kapitala, kaže Piketi, na kraju će ponovo stvoriti nejednakost Bel epoka ukoliko joj se ne suprotstavimo progresivnim oporezivanjem. Zašto? Radi se o odnosu r prema g – stopi prinosa na kapital prema stopi privrednog rasta.
Skoro svi ekonomski modeli govore nam da ako g pada – kao što je padao od 1970, što će se verovatno nastaviti zbog sporijeg rasta radno sposobnog stanovništva i sporijeg tehnološkog napretka – r će takođe padati. Ali Piketi tvrdi da će r padati manje nego g. Ne mora da znači da će tako i biti. Međutim, ako se radnici lako mogu zameniti mašinama – ako je, da upotrebimo tehnički žargon, elastičnost supstitucije kapitala i radne snage veća od jedan – spori rast će, kao i proizilazeći porast udela kapitala prema prihodima, zaista proširiti jaz između r i g. A Piketi tvrdi da istorijski podaci pokazuju da će se upravo to dogoditi.
Ako je u pravu, jedna direktna posledica biće preraspodela dohotka od radne snage prema vlasnicima kapitala. Opšteprihvaćeno mišljenje je dugo glasilo da ne treba brinuti o tome, da su udeo kapitala i radne snage u ukupnom prihodu dugoročno veoma stabilni. Međutim, na vrlo dugi rok nije bilo tako. U Britaniji, na primer, udeo kapitala u prihodu – bilo u obliku dobiti preduzeća, dividendi, renti, ili prodaje imovine – pao je sa oko 40 odsto pre Prvog svetskog rata na jedva 20 odsto oko 1970, a od tada je, vraćajući se na prvobitni nivo, već prešao otprilike pola puta. Istorijska kriva nije toliko očigledna u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, ali i ovde je u toku preraspodela u korist kapitala. Naime, dobit preduzeća je porasla od početka finansijske krize, dok nadnice – uključujući i nadnice visokoobrazovanih – stagniraju.
Rastući udeo kapitala, sa svoje strane, direktno povećava nejednakost, jer je vlasništvo nad kapitalom uvek mnogo nejednakije raspoređeno nego prihod od rada. Ali efekti se ne zaustavljaju na tome, jer kada stopa prinosa na kapital drastično prevazilazi stopu ekonomskog rasta, ,,prošlost teži da proguta budućnost": društvo se neumoljivo naginje dominaciji naslednog bogatstva.


Ovo je samo parčence, tekst je dugačak i veoma zanimljiv.

to je ta dominacija nasljednog bogatstva i stagniranje ili opadanje nadnica

Meho Krljic

Hah, ja sam gotovo siguran da je razlika u primanjima između najbogatijeg i najsiromašnijeg Amerikanca nekoliko puta veća nego između najbogatijeg i najsiromašnijeg Srbina. Al vidiš da je Truman posisao otrovno fridmanovsko mleko na tom fakultetu  :lol: :lol: :lol: Krugman u ovom drugom tekstu od prošle godine razložno priča o tome zašto su zapadne ekonomije usvojile austerity measures taktike u borbi sa krizom iako je sve ukazivalo da to nije dobar izbor, ali kad Dinkić krene to isto da priča, oće oči da mu izvade  :)


QuoteThe Greek crisis came as a shock to almost everyone, not least the new Greek government that took office in October 2009. The incoming leadership knew it faced a budget deficit—but it was only after arriving that it learned that the previous government had been cooking the books, and that both the deficit and the accumulated stock of debt were far higher than anyone imagined. As the news sank in with investors, first Greece, then much of Europe, found itself in a new kind of crisis—one not of failing banks but of failing governments, unable to borrow on world markets.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, and the Greek crisis was a godsend for anti-Keynesians. They had been warning about the dangers of deficit spending; the Greek debacle seemed to show just how dangerous fiscal profligacy can be. To this day, anyone arguing against fiscal austerity, let alone suggesting that we need another round of stimulus, can expect to be attacked as someone who will turn America (or Britain, as the case may be) into another Greece.

Evo vesti za sve one koji večno sumnjaju da je Nemačka demokratska država i društvo koje uvažava ljudska prava.

http://www.telegraf.rs/vesti/1043173-velica-fasizam-i-ustase-nemci-otkazali-tompsonov-koncert-u-berlinu

Najmoćnija ekonomija kontinenta dokazuje svoju veličinu.
Za razliku od Austrije, Mađarske, Francuske i baltičkih zemalja gde ekstremna desnica dobaci i do dvocifrenog procenta na izborima,
u Nemačkoj takve partije dobiju svega 1 %. Od prvog razreda osnovne škole, uči se o nacizmu i fašizmu i negativnom kontekstu (kako ne treba) bez ikakvog ustezanja. Društvo za primer.

Anomander Rejk

Ma sve je to lepo, ali politika nije samo javna već i tajna.
Ako je Nemačka zaista iskreno prepoznala i osudila svoje grehove iz prošlosti, onda nikako nije smela da se upliće u jugoslovensku krizu devedesetih, ne u zemlji koju je dva puta razarala i nanela joj toliko zla i žrtava.
A ne da se mešala, već je po priznanju drugih funkcionera EU, vršila ogroman pritisak, čak ucenjivala ostale da priznaju Hrvatsku, žmirila na Oluju i neprocesuiranje zločina u istoj, igrala vrlo aktivnu ulogu u secesiji Kosova. Čak je svojevremeno i nemački ambasador u Srbiji pretio daljim parčanjem Srbije, ako ne budemo ,,poslušni'' povodom Kosova.
To nije ponašanje zemlje koja je iskreno osudila svoju mračnu prošlost.

Super je sve to kod njih, organizovan sistem, socijalna država, ali šta ja imam od toga. Aktivno su učestvovali u razaranju države u kojoj sam živeo, i nadam se da će ih stići pravda, da će se i njihova država iscepkati u više nezavisnih država.

u neku ruku to je i tačno

Gorbačov je rekao da je SSSR svojim raspadom zadao težak udarac Americi, u smislu da ju je lišio neprijatelja

od tada su pokušavali da konstruišu razne neprijatelje, od Sadama, Slobe, terorizma, opet Sadama, Irana, Sjeverne Koreje itd

i naravno da ih je javnost ismiijavale kad neke prdavce od država proglašavaju kao opasne po planetu

SAD u suštini tumara obezglavljeno već 25 godina, jer se pokazuje da nisu sposobni da predvode, nego samo da se sukobljavaju

Размишљам нешто, ако се ратови већ воде због територија, ресурса, итд, да је неминовно да агресивно гажење у руске интересне сфере мора бити окончано ратом. За сада директно руско ангажовање било је сведено на повраћај раније откинутих територија: Абхазија, Јужна Осетија, Крим. Међутим, све је то гажење мрава, а реална снага за вођење озбиљног рата под знаком је питања, на истоку Малорусије, а камоли у Сирији. Другим речима, велико је питање да ли је сада Русија спремна за озбиљан конвенционални рат јер модернизацију војске још нису потпуно завршили. А опет, размишљам, то сам и ономад споменуо само у контексту ниског бадикаунта међу позитивцима у "Господару прстенова", можда је бре та Империја Зла заправо керов курац, тигар од папира, школски "шибаџија" који ће зацвилити чим неко коначно скупи храброст да му одвали врелу шамарчину. А ми мислимо као - сила јеботе! Да ли је реално тако? Ако изузмемо српске квислишнке медије у којима више није пожељно ни спомињати НАТО агресију осим можда празних наклапања о томе како жалимо за жртвама, човек се запита - која сте ви бре сила? Све што смо досад видели да ВЕШТО раде јесте ангажовање локалног олоша - ДОС и Отпор у Србији, Ал-каида у Сирији, Десни сектор у Малорусији. Тамо где су ушли чизмом, одатле су побегли или су у фази бежаније.

Али, историјски гледано, могу да разумем Русију, њен опрез, поготово Русије која још није изашла из канала у који је гурнута после продане душе Горбачова. Јер ни у један озбиљан сукоб нису ушли потпуно спремни и сваки их је грдно коштао. Међутим, исто тако сам дубоко уверен да ако мисле да ће се у наредној деценији јефтино извући, да греше. Читали смо ваљда Де Сада, знамо како подаништво функционише и шта доноси. Џокер карта заправо и не мора да буде у Москви или недајбоже у Пекингу или Техерану. Већ у Берлину. Осим Руса, још су Немци ти који су осетили шта значи озбиљан рат против силе, а не локалног левог сметала. Отцепљење Немачке од Империје Зла, сигуран сам, убрзаће њен крах много више него директна конфронтација са Истоком.

Ne verujem da se oni pribojavaju sukoba sa NATO, a još manje verujem da su Nemci, Francuzi, Englezi, i ostali spremni da ginu u Ukrajini. Mislim da pokušavaju Rusi da ne spale sve mostove sa Ukrajinom, da ne stvore trajnog neprijatelja na svojoj najvažnijoj granici, i da je to glavni razlog zašto pokušavaju da izbegnu totalni sukob. Drugi je mislim ekonomija, mislim da je cilj Amera da ih ekonomski iscrpljuju ( kao što je bilo zbog trke u naoružanju tokom Hladnog rata) da ih uvale u dugotrajni rat u Ukrajini, rat koji će Rusi sigurno dobiti, ali ih onda čeka ,,urbana'' gerila fašista, terorizam, i dugotrajni sukob koji će ih žestoko iscrpljivati. SAD nisu glupi, i prilično sam siguran da su ovu čorbu dugo kuvali. Oni su ovde jedini na dobitku-uvalili su dva bratska naroda u rat, mobilizovali su ,,Novu'' Evropu, digli potrebu za NATO iz mrtvila, u prilične nevolje uvalili i Nemce i ostale. U principu šta god Rusija uradi, to će nositi teške posledice. Ali mač uvek ima dve oštrice, ne znaju ni oni koji su ovo zakuvali na šta može izaći.

Ма јок. Русија већ има тероризам и то муслимански, с дужом (ајд да тако кажем) традицијом и већим искуством него што су евромајдански нацисти. Зајебанији је то противник од олоша за које су онај "наш" Давидовић и "Национални строј" господа. Јесу евромајдановци прошли неку обуку, дуго су толерисани ти кампови "здраве омладине", али је Русија своје веома брзо похапсила кад су на почетку евромајданског устанка, кад антирусизам још није био изражен, покушали да таласају по Москви.

САД стратези већ неко време не знају где ударају, какво црно кување. Једно је Гробље Империја где се СССР заглавио, нема никакве шансе да Галиција има снагу за дуг отпор, тероризам, герилу или штатијазнам. Уосталом, Малорусија је економски знатно снажнија, Галиција се одувек шлепала на источни и јужни део државе. Као што сам већ негде написао, поделом земље, биће ко Молдавија, ако не и горе.

Rusija već ima iskustvo sa propagandom, pa nije ni čudo što su celu jednu naciju (Ukrajinsku) nazvali nacističkom
(A za jedinu krajnje desrniačrsku partiju glasalo samo 12 % punoletne Ukrajine).

No evo i malo zoofilkskih vesti.

Australijski autor diskutuje o privatizaciji sistema zdravstvene zaštite. Pažljivo čitati jer njihovo sada može biti naše sutra:


Healthcare is not a product, no matter what neoliberalism has taught us



QuoteEven the staunchest opponents of neoliberalism have been infected by  its presumptions. The current Australian healthcare debate is our moment to re-learn what universal provision actually is



"We are all socialists now", said Britain's chancellor of the exchequer, William Harcourt, in 1894. He was remarking that his liberal opponents were united in favour of municipal reservoirs. Should socialists today intone, "We are all neo-liberals now"? Not that we support selling off the waterworks; rather, 120 years after Harcourt, we have been forced to defend the (figurative) water supply against those who would.

Opponents of neoliberalism have absorbed several of its presumptions. The most pervasive is to repeat the lie that sell-offs are privatisations. To say private and not corporate is to do the work of our enemy's spin doctors. The word private makes the counting-house sound neighbourly. Similar mischiefs flow from parroting reform instead of denouncing de-forms.
Health is the latest and most prominent  de-form, even though education, employment, housing and transport are also subject to similar inequities. Unequal outcomes from those five pillars of everyday life compound each other, perhaps nowhere more so than for mental illness.
Our well-being is the outcome of their interaction, not just a physical condition of an individual. As the socialist epidemiologist Fiona Stanley puts it, the real brain drain begins before birth. Hence, provisions for equitable care have to be built on "social" equality. Every policy should face this test: is it likely to increase social equality across the generations?
From that starting point, I have always been critical of Medicare (and its ancestor, Medibank) as a curative model funded in part by a flat-rate tax. My objection has never been to a universal system but to the fact that Medicare has never been one. Nothing here has come within coo-ee of Britain's national health service.
I appreciate the benefits of Medicare. Without it, in the United Mistakes for example, I would be either dead or homeless. As it was, from 2001 I was at least $5,000 out of pocket for treatment-related costs over five years of diagnosis and follow-up, not including loss of earnings.
The surgeon warned that I would never again be able to bend it like Beckham but that the loss of a thigh muscle was a small price to pay for being alive. So was the $5,000. Nonetheless, its outlay was a reminder of how far Medicare has always been from universal coverage. Not everyone has the funds or friendships to meet essential extras.
Despite these long-standing complaints about Medicare, I caught myself frothing against a co-payment for GP visits. That surprise sent me back to the source of my objections, Richard Titmuss' 1962 tome, Income Distribution and Social Change. He showed why universal service delivery is the only route towards greater social equality, because in a single system of healthcare the rich and powerful have a life-and-death interest in making it work.
So what's our task? We need to fight our way out of the corner into which neoliberalism has backed us, and insist on universal systems funded by steeply progressive tax-rates on capital more than on profits, on property as well as on income.
The Coalition's proposed $7 co-payment is regressive. But the flat-rate Medicare tax, even though it requires those on average weekly earnings to pay a larger lump sum than someone on the minimum wage, isn't much better. 1% on $35,000 of taxable income collects $350; on $70,000, it is twice as much at $700. That doubling is not progressive.
A progressive rate would run like this: 1% stays at $350 out of $35,000; but 2% on $70,000 would be $1,400. Instead of the higher income earner paying only twice as much in total, she would contribute four times as much. However, higher earners are more likely to reduce the taxable component of their income by deductions and dodges – they must be abolished.
Medibank and Medicare taught us to wear this kind of flat-rate impost – the GST, the flood levy,  and the national disability insurance scheme. Now we have the deficit tax. My only objection to the last is that it is not permanent and not steep enough. In an ideal world, Westpac's Gail Kelly and her mates would be on a marginal rate of 90%.
In a further concession to neoliberalism, we're all encouraged to advocate equality of opportunity when the  call should be for equality of outcomes. It is one thing for every Australian to have the same rate of access to heart surgery. It is another to get the same quality of care at Bourke as in the Jesus Hilton (aka St Vincent's Private).

Too few defenders of Medicare recall the community health program (CHP) from the 1970s. The first CHP was set up in 1964, in Footscray, Melbourne, by the Australian meat industry employees union. Its purpose was to offer treatment to injured meat workers and research the causes of industrial accidents.
The trade union clinic and research centre, as it was called, became the model for similar services for women and Indigenous Australians which still exist today. Campaigners for the extension of Medicare need to put an even greater effort into rejuvenating  CHP centres, to make them our universal provider. They should be the heart, brain and lungs of wellness in every community and at every workplace.
But such a thing seems difficult today, if not impossible. It's not that neoliberalism is a vicious idea in the twisted minds of evil people, whether John Howard and Tony Abbott, or Julia Gillard and Bill Shorten. Neoliberalism expresses the necessity that capital has to expand by commodifying every aspect of our lives.

To prevent the spread of that disease it is essential to reassert the vision that Titmuss celebrated in his 1970 masterpiece, The Gift Relationship. He contrasted volunteer UK blood donors with the US victims of a free market in plasma and saw that health care has almost none of the characteristics of a consumer good.
Nevertheless, Australia's commonwealth serum laboratories were privatised in 1994, under Paul Keating, who made Medicare a key plank of his "social wage". How long will it be before the efficiency of supplying blood is totally de-formed by market signals? If we go on settling for Medicare, for the third best, we shall end up with a futures market in blood.
Titmuss was right: healthcare is not a product. Unlike when we buy shoes, as patients we have little idea of what treatments we will need. Finally, we are not in a position to return them, least of all from the grave.
