Dragane, potrefio si i dao mi inspiraciju da opisem svoju ekonomsku teoriju. (vec sam vise puta napisao da nisam strucnjak za ekonomiju, ali - nadam se - nisam ni totalna budala) Jeste, u pravu si, ovde (USA) zivimo iznad objektivnih mogucnosti. Verovatno vredi za citav tzv. "zapadni svet." Za jednocasovnu platu/zaradu mogu da kupim dve kosulje ili par cipela itd. Kako je to moguce, kad je moj deda (u predratnoj, tj. pre WW2, Jugoslaviji) radio mesec dana za za jedno odelo ili par cipela? Moguce je zahvaljujuci medjunarodnoj trgovini i nejednakosti. Globalizacija, na delu i pre nego je izraz smisljen. Ja tu kosulju kupim za pola sata rada samo zato sto Pakistanac ili Indonezanin koji ju je sasio ne moze da je kupi ni za vise dana rada. Svet nije pravedan i mi (proverbijalni "zapad") zivimo na grbaci tzv. "treceg sveta." Radnik koji utovaruje robu na brod u Indiji zaradjue $3/dnevno, a radnik koji sa tog istog broda istovaruje tu istu robu naplacuje svoj rad $30 po satu. Verovatno se ovo moze pismenije/pametnije opisati, pa i uvesti izraz "petrodolar" - no, rekoh, ja sam amater i nisam ekonomista. Ziveci u USA, ovakva razmisljanja me teraju dalje. Uvozne carine cena kraju platiti potrosac. A Trump, idiot, je cak lansirao ideju da ce carine zameniti porez na dohodak ("income tax"). Nece se desiti, Trump je kreten. Zasto? Porez na dohodak ("income tax") placaju dobrostojeci ljudi. TJ. tako bi trebalo, a u praksi za najbogatije postoje rupe u zakonu (engleski "loopholes"). Ti bogati ljudi manje (proporcionalno) placaju za odrzanje sistema koji im omogucava da bogatstvo jos uvecaju. A carine ce (kroz povecane cene) platiti svi. Majko mila, ja treba da platim ekstra X% za glavicu salate da bi proizvodjac tenkova i municije ziveo bolje/lakse(!?). O ostalim aspektima teme drugde/drugacije.

Jos malo o Trumpu. Znam, vec je dosadilo i bogu i vragu, no tesko je pobeci od toga kad je 80% vesti o njegovim pizdarijama. Naidjoh na ovo: Trump just opened himself up to a racketeering lawsuit: report link: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-just-opened-himself-up-to-a-racketeering-lawsuit-report/ar-AA1FebN3?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=aa7dc34d02d94bc2a9c0d6acadb7a41f&ei=15 Clanak se referise na sledeci koji cu ovde citirati jer zahteva pretplatu: These Law Firms Should Sue Trump for Racketeering From the Oval Office link: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2025/05/sue-trump-oval-office-racketeering.html Ja bih ovde dodao neke svoje dubioze (dileme?). Trump i njegova klika vec redovno gube u sudskim sporovima, Ali, ko ce sprovesti odluke suda? Sud nema svoju policiju i vojsku. Za tzv. "represivne organe" (tj. policiju, FBI itd.) je nadlezno ministarstvo pravosudja - kojim (preko svojih poltrona/dupeuvlakaca) upravlja - Trump. Najebali smo.

Zasto pisemo da USA vec najmanje par decenija ide u nepozeljnom smeru? I zasto toliko pisemo o Trumpu? Deo odgovora: "... But since Trump’s inauguration, Congress has ceded huge swaths of its policymaking responsibility to the president. That makes the media’s focus on Trump unsurprising. And there’s no denying that Trump has had enormous impact during his first 100 days in office. ..." Congress began losing power decades ago − and now it’s giving away what remains to Trump izvor: https://theconversation.com/congress-began-losing-power-decades-ago-and-now-its-giving-away-what-remains-to-trump-254984

Ma, necu nista. Samo mi je neprijatno. Citamo/pisemo se na forumu vec dugo i uglavnom sam se slagao sa tvojim misljenjem - sve dok nisi pocela da branis Trumpa i njegove svinjarije. I njegove pseudoekonomske poteze za koje svi vodeci ekonomisti kazu da su losi - sa izuzetkom onih nekoliko koji gostuju na FoxNews, Newsmax i OAN kanalima. A svinjarija ima vec za citavu enciklopediju. Slazem se sa Mrdom i ostalima koji kazu da americko drustvo ide u vrazju mater - i dodao bih da je uz Trumpa taj proces ubrzan za par redova velicine. Gary Hart, vodeci kandidat za predsednika, je odustao i prekinuo kampanju kad su ga paparazzi uslikali na jahti sa ljubavnicom. Protiv Billa Clintona je pokrenut impeachment proces jer se svalerisao sa Monicom Lewinsky. A Trump je PRESUDOM SUDA (!) kriv za sexual assault (E. Jean Caroll)- i nikome nista. Stormy Daniels - ma, zanemari. Toliko o moralu. Hocemo li o postenju? Trump ima citavu knjigu neplacenih racuna, ostao je duzan cak i onima koji mu ljube dupe. Najbolji primerje Rudy Giuliani. Rudolph Giuliani says he was shortchanged as part of Donald Trump’s 2020 election campaign to the tune of about $2 million for legal fees. izvor: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/bankruptcy-law/giuliani-says-trump-campaign-rnc-owe-him-2-million-in-fees Trump University? ... Despite its name, the organization was not an accredited university or college. It conducted three- and five-day seminars (often called "retreats") and used high-pressure tactics to sell them to its customers. It did not confer college credit, grant degrees, or grade its students. In 2011, the company became the subject of an inquiry by the New York Attorney General's office for illegal business practices, which resulted in a lawsuit filed in August 2013. An article in the National Review called the organization a "massive scam" ... izvor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_University Svezije, citava klika oko Trumpa je "zaradila" puste pare mesetarenjem na berzi, znajuci unapred kada ce on objaviti carine i kada ce ih ukinuti. Nikome nista - kome to smeta, taj valjda boluje od TDS (Trump derrangement syndrome) - mada je "insider trading" kriminal. Ctava frtutma je nastala oko Huntera Bidena i njegovog poslovanja, secamo li se? A sa Trumpom su u drzavnu posetu Arapima isli i sinovi i Elon Musk. Opet, nikome nista. O toj poseti procitaj i zanimljiv clanak: Trump’s remarkable Middle East tour is all about striking megadeals and outfoxing China izvor: https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/content-series/inflection-points/trumps-remarkable-middle-east-tour-is-all-about-striking-megadeals-and-outfoxing-china/ Moze se raspravljati koliko je uspesan kao businessman, nema sumnje da je izuzetno bogat. Mada se mogu naci mnogi medijski clanci, pa i knjige, koji tvrde da nije - ali jeste uspesan con-artist (prevarant). I onda se nadju mnogi koji misle da je dobro da vodi drzavu kao uspesan business. Tu se ne slazem, pa dolazimo do razlike u filozofiji i principima. Drzava ne treba da bude uspesan business, drzava treba da bude usluzni servis SVIM GRADJANIMA. To znaci da obezbedi infrastrukturu, zdravstvo, obrazovanje, obranu zemlje, zastitu od kriminala itd. I ne treba da na tome zaradjuje - ne samo drzava kao javna institucija, nego pogotovu ne smeju da na tome zaradjuju klike i"elite" nekolicine vec ionako najbogatijih! A ovo poslednje se upravo dogadja. Smanjenje poreza najbogatijima i velikim korporacijama - ali, posto negde treba da se nadju/sacuvaju pare, smanjenje ili ukidanje raznih socijalnih programa. Verujem da ce se to Republikancima obiti o glavu. Najbrojniji korisnici tih programa je upravo krezuba redneck populacija - veliki deo grupe koja glasa za njih... U stvari, vec je pocelo. Republikanska guvernerka: Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the state's entire GOP congressional delegation are urging President Donald Trump to reconsider after the Federal Emergency Management denied the state's request for federal disaster relief following a series of deadly storms last month. izvor: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sarah-huckabee-sanders-arkansas-lawmakers-urge-trump-reconsider/story?id=121105810 Sta ces, usteda... I onda se ti pojavis na forumu i smejes se nama koji ne razumemo da su carine u stvari genijalna poslovna/pregovaracka taktika.

Trump's traveling trunk show is backfiring At least on the issue of putting the USA up for sale, we’re all united against Trump izvor: https://www.salon.com/2025/05/15/traveling-trunk-show-is-backfiring/ Naravno, samo nama glupima ovaj tekst izaziva neprijatne osecaje. MAGA genijalcima nece. Sa'ce mi MAGAngelia objasniti da je to business as usual i (zahvaljujuci Trumpu) moj standard samo sto nije porasao.

The media needs to stop pretending about Trump's 'conflicts' Robert Reich is a professor of public policy at Berkeley and former secretary of labor. His writings can be found at https://robertreich.substack.com/. Sad cekam da mi MAGA ekipa objasni da sam slep i ne razumem a Trump u stvari sve radi za dobrobit nacije...

Andjo, mnogo si toga "propustila." Nadam se da ces imati vremena da procitas moj post - jer si toliko zauzeta businessom pa delom slobodnog vremena samo pogledas Fox News propagandu. Ma, zasto proveriti "fact check" kad je vec "veliki vodja" sve objasnio? Razlicito od tebe i Trumpa, ja fizicki i bukvalno idem u nabavku. Perverzan sam, sta cu, manijak, pa volEm mladi luk (srpskohrvatski: green onions). Pre dve godine je u meni obliznjem supermarketu (Kroger, lanac sa vise hiljada ducana) bilo $0.99 za dva sveznja. Juce je bilo $1.19 za JEDAN svezanj. Moja penzija nije toliko porasla. Koliko ce kostati za mesec dana, ne znam i plasim se. Sveze povrce je vecinom uvoz iz Mexica. A moja penzija nije. Istovremeno, pojavi se Trump na TV i kaze da su cene pale. Vi MAGA tipovi verujte Trumpu ali ja cu verovati sopstvenom budjelaru. Znas, "let them eat cake" ce ti se obiti o glavu.

(bold, crvenilo moje) Postovani Nikola, ne slazem se. Ne ide mu lepo. Mozda sam naivan. Ali ipak... Pre godinu-dve, kao i svake od proteklih vise decenija, potpisao bih ovaj tvoj post. Uostalom, zato sam pobegao iz SFRJ. Ucestvovao sam na razlicitim protestima '60-ih i '70-ih, nije uspelo i ugasilo se nakon nekog kratkog vremena, pa sam rekao samom sebi mani se corava posla. Pre par decenija sam nudio netjacima iz Srbije pomoc da dodju na "truli Zapad" ali nisu, zbog raznih razloga. A ovih dana - tj. vec nekoliko meseci! - studenti pokazuju/DOkazuju da mu ne ide lepo i da su promene moguce. I da je moguce probuditi i mnoge delove inace letargicnog stanovnistva. Seljaci (nije pezorativno nego mislim na ruralno stanovnistvo) koji nisu podrzali studentske demonstacije '68. i nisu znali sta hoce Marko Nikezic i Latinka Perovic '71. (nikad culi za njih) - danas otvoreno podrzavaju srpske studente! Nemoj da mi "rusis sneska." Jedini razlog zbog kojeg Vucic nece zavrsiti kao Ceausescu (ili Mussolini) je to sto smo danas malo civilizovaniji. I ta civilizovanost ce kostati: najverovatnije necemo vratiti puste pare. Ja, necivilizovan i primitivan, mucio bih njega i brata mu kao inkvizicija dok ne kazu gde je novac, na kojim bankovnim racunima i na egzoticnim ostrvima. Da se vratim na uvod u post: ne ide mu lepo, i nadam se (za njega) da ce poci jos losije.

Vecina ljudi prati "sexy" i "eksplozivne" vesti, kao i poteze vlade koji imaju potencijal da ih direktno lupe po dzepu. Tako mnogi nisu primetili jos jedan potencijalno opasan potez. Ovako se "na mala vrata" uvodi autokratija (ili fasizam?) i USA dobija svojeg Mussolinija: Trump’s most absurd executive order yet Kimberly Wehle is author of the book “Pardon Power: How the Pardon System Works — and Why.” Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Postalo je tesko, strahovito naporno, komentarisati situaciju u USA. Ajde, mi ovde na forumu jos nekako, ali ne mogu ni da zamislim muke profesionalnih novinara. Moj nacin razmisljanja je da identifikujem problem, razmislim o njemu, po potrebi se sa nekim konsultujem i nadjemo resenje. A Trump i njegova dupeuvlakacka ekipa proizvode probleme takvom brzinom da ih je nemoguce vec i sve pohvatati - i za smisljanje resenja nema vremena. Dok procitam vest o najnovijoj svinjariji, pojave se jos tri vesti o dodatnim i drugacijim svinjarijama. Za tri meseca je zasrao toliko toga da sledecih pet vlada nece stici to opraviti. Ej, u tri meseca je promenio PET sefova porezne sluzbe! Ne bih se vise iznenadio ako postavi i sestog dok ja piskaram ovaj post. Evo kako to izgleda jednom dobrom komentatoru: A second Signal chat and fifth IRS head: Trump is comically bad. No one's laughing. Former Fox News host seems to have taken the 'he is in no way qualified to run the Defense Department' concerns and worked overtime to prove them right. Rex Huppke USA TODAY Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is in boiling-hot water for texting U.S. war plans to seemingly everyone, the Dow is racing toward its worst April since the Great Depression, the U.S. dollar just hit a three-year low as the world questions the stability of America’s economy AND President Donald Trump, after fewer than 100 days in office, is already on his fifth IRS commissioner. Oh, and grocery prices remain high and will likely rise more thanks to Trump’s tariffs. I realize all of that might seem, to the untrained eye, almost comically bad. But trust me, it’s worse. A more accurate term would be “cosmically bad.” Hegseth keeps proving how remarkably unqualified he is to lead the military Let’s start with Hegseth, who, as I write this column, has probably leaked sensitive U.S. troop locations via Signal chat to his mom, Ted Nugent and an old Russian drinking buddy. The former Fox News host seems to have taken the “he is in no way qualified to run the Defense Department” concerns and worked overtime to prove them right. Hegseth is now on his second texting-related scandal, this time involving a New York Times report that he shared details of U.S. strikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen with his personal attorney, his wife and his brother. You know, the normal array of people who should definitely be looped in on sensitive attack information via a commercial messaging app. The earlier scandal involved a separate Signal chat group in which Hegseth spilled war-plan beans to, among others, an editor at The Atlantic. Oops! Hegseth's Signal leaks show just how incompetent Trump's picks are By April 21, NPR was reporting that the White House may be looking for someone to replace Hegseth, which makes sense, as it seems quite literally anyone would be more competent. There is widespread reporting of chaos at the Department of Defense, where a number of Hegseth’s own people have recently been booted for allegedly leaking sensitive information, prompting this remarkably disconnected-from-reality comment from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt: “The administration and the president have taken a very strong stance against anyone who leaks, especially sensitive and classified information that can put our troops and our war fighters at risk. And you've seen the secretary has taken very strong action to rein in the leakers at the Pentagon and he will continue to do so I'm sure.” Secretary Hegseth IS one of the leakers of sensitive information at the Pentagon! He probably leaked something new on Signal while Leavitt was making that ridiculous statement. While Hegseth and Trump fiddle, the US economy burns As both Leavitt and the leader of the world’s largest military demonstrate that America is celebrating a Golden Age of incompetence, the markets are following suit. USA TODAY cited a note sent by Jonas Goltermann, deputy chief markets economist at Capital Economics, saying that Trump's tariffs have “resulted in a sharp fall in the dollar and what looks increasingly like a generalized loss of confidence in the U.S. as a safe haven in currency and bond markets.” The Dow dropped 970 points on April 21, and major markets were all in the red, which is the color of MAGA. So maybe that’s good? I’m not sure. If you listen to Trump and other administration officials, everything is going great now, so I’m assuming up is the new down and Americans’ retirement accounts are doing great as long as they don’t look at them. Trump is changing IRS commissioners at a ludicrous pace Beyond all of that nonsense ‒ and that is a lot of nonsense ‒ it’s worth noting that in a staggeringly brief period of time, Trump has burned through four IRS commissioners. As The Washington Post reported April 18: “President Donald Trump replaced acting IRS commissioner Gary Shapley on Friday, three days after he was selected for the position, as rapid leadership changes continue to rock the agency charged with collecting and disbursing billions of dollars in revenue and benefits.” Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender became the fifth ‒ count ‘em, the FIFTH! ‒ IRS head since Trump took office Jan. 20. If this keeps up, the president is on pace to go through roughly 80 IRS commissioners in his four-year term. Unless he has some secret plan to bring stability to his administration and the American economy. If he does, I’m sure we’ll learn about it via a Hegseth group chat that includes his dog walker, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, Elon Musk and a dude Hegseth met at a hotel bar in Bangor, Maine, back in 1993. izvor: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/04/22/hegseth-second-signal-chat-trump-unqualified/83196429007/

Majko mila, odakle da pocnem? Jesam procitao Fromma,sva njegova dela, i uglavnom se slazem. Ne uvek. Na primer, u ranije preporucenoj knjizi postoji i poglavlje (procitao sam vise puta ali poslednji put vec davno) Ljubav prema Bogu. To je potpuno iracionalno - meni, jer sam "nevernik." Kako neko moze voleti boga koji je (ako postoji) indiferentna budala. Istovremeno, i ljubav (prava, postena) je iracionalna. Mozda sam nevernik, mislim da je ljubav bezuslovna i vecna. Mogu se ne sloziti sa necim - a i dalje volim coveka koji prica gluposti. Postoji li nesto "subliminalno?" Ne postoji mera. Nije moguce izmeriti koliko neko voli bracnog partnera jer nemamo "referentni okvir." Zato se ogranicavamo na crno-beli okvir. "Volim/ne volim." Dobri ljudi vole puno toga. Losi uglavnom prigovaraju i nalaze zamerke.

Cesto na forumu, najvise na Politici, kacimo linkove iz raznih izvora. I onda se nadju forumasi koji odgovore da ne mogu da vide jer je clanak iza "paywall" tj. zahteva pretplatu. Moguce je to zaobici. Na ovom sajtu, copy/pastujes URL clanka koji ne vidis pa se ipak pojavi, citav. https://www.textise.net/ Dakle, nema izgovora tipa "nisam nasao/video." edit: verujem da toga ima jos vise, ko zna neka doda
