Brez socialnih razlik družba nazaduje, zato je edina pravilna pot le ta. Zviševati minimalno plačo kolikor se da, hkrati pa krepiti socialno razliko. Če socialne razlike so, torej, da je družba motivirana, bomo skozi prerazdeljevanje ustvarjenega dobička na koncu vsi, tudi najbolj revni, imeli več. Boštjan M. Turk
V Zaresu smo se odločili, da je potrebno reagirati na izjave poslanca Branka Mariniča in tudi na izjave vodje poslanske skupine SDS Jožeta Tanka. Izhajamo iz predpostavke, da pomeni nereagiranje na takšne izjave njihovo okrepitev in uveljavitev – če ne bi reagirali na to, kar zahteva poslanec Marinič, bi pravzaprav pritrdili njegovemu mnenju in mnenju poslancev SDS.
Od Komisije za preprečevanje korupcije zahtevajo, da poslancem in poslankam v komisiji Državnega zbora izročijo vse podatke o osumljencih in prijaviteljih, ki so na komisijo kdaj podali prijavo suma storitve koruptivnega dejanja.
…
V Zares ocenjujemo, da je to pravzaprav sprevrženo vedenje poslancev, tudi Mariniča, ki je bil nedavno v okviru protikorupcijske komisije preiskovan tudi sam. Na ta način bi lahko poslanec ugotovil, kdo je zoper njega vložil prijavo suma storitve koruptivnega vedenja goljufanja na izpitu. Zares
O.K. Razumem jezo Jerovška. Ni bil hipi, zato ni šel ob svojem času na romanje v Indijo. Ni rolal džointov, ni obiskoval svetih mest, templjev, rek. In kdaj bo to nadoknadil, če ne zdaj, ko je pri koritu? Dobro, stalo bo 17.000 evrov. A za širitev obzorij naših poslancev ni nič predrago. Pač, kot v tisti judovski šali, ko pride revni Jud k bogatemu sonarodnjaku in ga prosi za denar, da bo lahko šel na okrevanje v mondeno letovišče Oostende. Bogati Jud se v zadregi izmika: “Saj bi ti pomagal, ampak, a mar mora biti res najdražje letovišče?” Pa mu revni Jud odgovori: “Ko gre za moje zdravje, mi nič ni predrago”. Tako nekako.

Če si je Barack Obama zaslužil Nobelovo nagrado za mir že po nekaj mesecih predsedovanja ZDA, potem bi moral Silvijo Berlusconi dobiti vsaj tolažilno Nobelovo nagrado za kemijo zaradi kemične privlačnosti, ki jo čuti do lepih, mladih in zagorelih afro američanov. Dr. Onyx
Just over one year after it became impossible to deny that the crisis that had started in 2006/2007 was a major, systemic event, it is rather depressing to see that nothing has really changed and, to the contrary, if anything has, it is for the worse.
The most striking item, of course, is the continued dominance of politicians by bankers. Banks are universally seen – including by bankers – as being at the heart of the problem, and having created the crisis through reckless behavior and worse. And yet, after having being bailed out at a staggering cost, in a highly asymmetrical way (the losses were socialised, but not the banks), not only have they managed to eliminate the likelihood of any real regulatory change, but more importantly they have managed to maintain the fiction that finance was the reason for earlier prosperity and should thus be protected as a source of future prosperity. The crash has not made anyone question the quality (or reality) of the previous boom, but rather made them wistful for these times. Thus, the dominance of the finance sector on the economy and the airwaves has not changed one bit: we still worry about the stock market, it’s still financial analysts and economists that drive the public debate, we’re still talking about “reforms” of entitlements or the labor market as if these were the main problem today, and public policy largely avoids the big looming issues of resource depletion and climate change.

Has any group of professionals ever been so spectacularly wrong? Pre-Copernican astronomers and cosmologists, I suppose, and for the same reason, really: They had an entire, internally consistent, theoretically rich system that described the universe. They were wrong — the sun and other celestial bodies save the moon didn’t actually revolve around the Earth, as they insisted — but no matter. It was a thing of beauty, their cosmic order. A vast faith was sustained in part by their pseudo-science, a faith from which such free thinkers as Galileo deviated at their own risk.
As it was with the pre- (or anti-) Copernicans, so it is with today’s mainstream economists. Theirs is an elegant system, a thing of beauty in itself, as the New York Times’ Paul Krugman has argued. It just fails to jell with reality. And unlike the pre-Copernicans, whose dogma posed a threat to those who challenged it but not, at least directly, to anyone else, their latter-day equivalents in the economic profession pose a clear and present danger to the well-being of damned near everyone.

Vlada RS naj v lastniški strukturi skupine MURA razlasti NFD, ki se je v osebi Staneta Valanta v zadnjem času do lastnine, predvsem pa do delavcev MURE, sramotno obnašala.

Daniel Lyons za Newsweek:
Those companies saw the Internet charging toward them like a freight train, and they just stood there on the tracks. They didn’t adapt. Why? Because for decades these companies enjoyed virtual monopolies, and as often happens to monopolists, they got lazy. They invested their resources in protecting their monopolies, using bully tactics to keep new competitors from entering their markets. They dished up an inferior product and failed to believe that anything or anyone could ever take their little gold mines away from them.
Ta tako imenovana tiha diplomacija se je izkazala za edino sredstvo utišanja medijev in podivjanih politikov, ki radi vpijejo ‘izdaja’ in nad izdajalce svete slovenske in hrvaške zemlje kličejo ogenj z neba. V resnici problemi med obema državama nikoli niso bili posebej veliki, takšne so jih naredili le mediji in številni neodgovorni politiki. Plus za ‘tiho diplomacijo’
New research is revealing so many creatures and species that exhibit homosexual/bisexual behavior of some kind, scientists are now saying there are actually very few, if any, species in existence that don’t exhibit it in some way. It’s everywhere: Bison. Giraffes. Ducks. Hyenas. Lions and lambs, lizards and dragonflies, polecats and elephants. Hetero sex. Anal sex. Partner swapping. The works.
Let’s flip that around. Here’s the shocking new truism: In the wilds of nature, to not have some level of homosexual/bisexual behavior in a given species is turning out to be the exception, not the rule. Would you like to read that statement again? Aloud? Through a megaphone? To the Mormon and Catholic churches? And the rest of them, as well? Repeatedly? Confirmed: God is Slightly Gay
