Najbolji pokazatelj "što obitelj može" je medijalni raspoloživi dohodak izražen u paritetu kupovne moći (izvor @EU_Eurostat). Ovaj indikator se "ruga" retorici druga i više od BDP-a

Ovakvu glupost često slušamo, gdje ljudi uporno ignoriraju činjenicu da je BDP najbolji i najdosljedniji pokazatelj životnog standarda nekog društva. Pogledajte države prema BDP-u per capita i vidjet ćete da njihov rang ispravno prikazuje i to gdje ljudi lakše mogu kupiti više stvari od svoje plaće.

Naravno da BDP nije savršeno mjerilo iz više razloga, a pogotovo zbog činjenice da nisu svi ljudi u jednakoj situaciji. Ali on je najbolji postojeći zbirni podatak kojim možemo izmjeriti ukupno bogatstvo nacije i njen materijalni životni standard.

"Ono na što biste trebali paziti jest koliko Vlada troši, a pravi je problem ograničiti državnu potrošnju kao dio dohotka."

"Tulum" kakve takve financijske discipline Vlada 🇭🇷 je trajao kratko, u periodu 2016-2022.

Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”

“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”

@Liberal_HR Socijalističke poslanice o jednakosti su među najotpornijim mehanizmima nanošenja ekonomske štete većini građana, a da veliki udio oštećenih posljedično osiromašenje doživljava kao ispunjenje pravde.

Ireland accounts for roughly 3.5% of the Eurozone's economy, and it's pretty wild to see its GDP take such a massive plunge.
👇🧐

[Robert Pezer @rpezer1]

Ireland is a corporate tax haven, boosting GDP per capita above the wealthiest countries in the world.
Does this imply that citizens of Ireland are financially better off than those living in Switzerland? No.
Who is paying for this? Considerable share, other EU member states.

@KoudijsHenk @GijsvanLoef The Dutch nation has been a scientific and engineering superpower for at least 3 centuries. Whenever you struggle with an issue in a related domain of expertise (including health), the right question to ask is "Why?" since the problem isn't your level of knowledge.

HISTORY OF PHYSICS

As we know, George Uhlenbeck and Samuel Goudmist postulated the spin in 1925. Although this allowed both to get positions in the US, Goudsmit considered the attention paid to him to be rather exaggerated. He thought mythologizing is at work

[Robert Pezer @rpezer1]

@VergaraLautaro Peter Debye was a physicist by formation (with a basic university education in electrical engineering, like Paul A.M. Dirac), foundational training, mentorship (Sommerfeld), and a long formative career in theoretical physics, who also revolutionized physical chemistry.

🇨🇦Intersectional world salad out of Canada academia.
ABSTRACT: "This paper traces intersectionality’s theoretical-methodological “twists and turns” to reconsider its explanatory power in elucidating relations between selves and socialites and its application in research. Questions of how researchers take up the heuristic have become charged given intersectionality’s uptake by democratic institutions as a marker of excellence alongside critiques of its appropriation by systems advancing it. Adopting a processual-relational framing, we argue that difference represents a site of possibility—affirming life’s heterogeneity—and danger, exposing the unboundedness of monolithic identities upon which intersectional theorizing relies through misfitting/fracturing. This reveals intersectionality’s potential as infrastructure. Using an “infrastructural inversion” that makes the hidden work of intersectionality-as-infrastructure perceptible, we demonstrate how an infrastructural critique uncovers the socio-material implications of classification systems underpinning intersectionality. We approach research matrices as “wild containers” illuminating nondominant differences, suggesting this enables a decolonized understanding of intersectionality as inter-/intra-sectional becomings moving beyond hierarchical categorizations imposed by white supremacist thought."

The weirdly exaggerated myths surrounding Rosalind Franklin are really something. She was a postdoc, not the "director" of the lab at King's College — that was John Randall. Watson was a postdoc at Cambridge, and Crick was a 35-year-old graduate student, having had his research work delayed by work on naval mines in World War II. The famous X-ray image showing the helical structure of DNA was taken by Raymond Gosling, a graduate student working with Franklin. It was transferred to Maurice Wilkins because Franklin had quit her job at King's, and the data belonged to the lab. She did not have the structure of DNA "completely mapped out," but in fact persisted in believing that A-DNA was not helical until 1953. She knew that B-DNA was either a single- or a double-helix, but had not fully worked out the structure by the time Watson and Crick did. Franklin died before the Nobel Prize was awarded for the work, and was therefore ineligible. Franklin's life story was remarkable enough without invented hagiography.

Jedna od finesa sistema je zabrana naplaćivanja ​​dodatne školarine uz vaučer. Osnovne škole općenito ne mogu birati učenike na temelju sposobnosti, etničke pripadnosti, religije ili socioekonomskog podrijetla (sve dok ima mjesta).

[Robert Pezer @rpezer1]

Zanemarena je najvažnija razlika👉roditelji/učenici mogu odabrati bilo koju odobrenu školu - državnu ili privatna/neovisnu (Friskola). Lokalna jedinica iz koje učenik dolazi isplaćuje vaučer izravno odabranoj školi. Sistem osigurava uračunljivost i ravnopravnost svih aktera.

Profesorica Lidija mi je odlično objasnila što smatra prednostima i manama u hrvatskom i švedskom obrazovnom sustavu.
https://t.co/7Fv4qtMzuH

[Robert Pezer @rpezer1]

Suprotno prof. Brakus, vidim više prednosti nego mana odluke da se u švedskim školama ne može pasti razred. Potiče se samostalnost i osobna odgovornost za svoju sudbinu od najranije dobi. Ishodi Šveđana u njihovim karijerama to svakako opravdavaju.
