Dvomim, da je v Sloveniji dosti drugače. Tudi pri nas sistem skrbi za starejše v vse večji meri sloni na delu priseljencev. Tako kot še marsikaj drugega... Mogoče bi tistih 55,30%, ki so vladi sporočili, da se strinjajo z odvzemom volilne pravice tujcev na lokalnih volitvah, razmislilo o tem.

Once we are done with the ICC, we will be livestreaming the execution of Ukraine and paying Russia so that gas prices go down. It's crucial to buy from Russia so it could give more to Iran to target US troops when we restart the war, for which we need the gas prices go down. Stable genius.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com
As we join the great theoretical scientist, he is deep in thought. So still, quiet and focused that he might almost be asleep. But inside that brilliant mind, what new idea is forming? What certainty is being meticulously interrogated? What ingenious theory is ready to change our world forever? (the scientist snores lightly) Ah, it seems he actually is asleep. And that's fine. Science is hard and not every day can be a success. We will come back another time.

Naslednji torek, 13. oktobra, bom v Muzeju novejše zgodovine govoril o pomanjkanju hrane po 1. svetovni vojni in knjigi, ki smo jo napisali o tem. Prijazno vabljeni!
Hraniti zmago: kako sta se Češka in Slovenija soočili s prehransko krizo po prvi svetovni vojni
Rok Stergar
Torek, 13. oktober 2026, ob 18. uri, Viteška dvorana
V okviru češko-slovenskega raziskovalnega projekta je pri založbi CEU Press izšla knjiga Nourishing Victory: Food Shortages and Post-Imperial Transition in the Bohemian Lands and Slovenia. Raziskovalke in raziskovalci so se ukvarjali z raziskovanjem prehranske krize po prvi svetovni vojni in s tem, kako so se oblasti in prebivalstvo soočili z izzivom, ki je bil nadaljevanje hudega pomanjkanja hrane v času vojne. Rok Stergar, vodja slovenskega dela projekta in sourednik knjige, bo predstavil knjigo in glavne ugotovitve projekta.

While I agree that hyperproduction is a problem, I am not sure that a quota system is the right solution. The fact that scholarly fields differ so much, is just one of the reasons why it might not.
