The collapse of the global economy?

  Today, we may or may not be amused, as some may judge, by the collapse of the global economy, which knew no blocs, national borders, or political systems. I think we have known the name and organization of multinational or international economic groups or companies or capital for quite some time. The economy has expanded beyond international borders and political systems and grown into global international groups, where the main guideline is the amount of capital. Of course, the economy has also grown into the political and information sphere. We have slowly put everything together under the name of globalization. Globalization has become a process that is supposed to include faster economic development, greater choice for consumers, and easier mutual cooperation on a global scale. Among the challenges and negative consequences, the loss of local cultural specificities, the widening gap between rich and poor, the exploitation of labor in less developed countries, and global envir...

Sesutje globalne ekonomije?

 Dandanes se lahko  pozabavamo ali pa tudi ne, kakor pač kdo ocenjuje, s sesutjem globalne ekonomije, ki ni poznala blokov, državnih meja in političnih sistemov. Mislim, da  že kar dolgo poznamo naziv in organizacijo multinacionalnih ali mednarodnih ekonomskih združb ali podjetij ali kapitala.

Seveda je gospodarstvo zraslo tudi v politično in informacijsko sfero. Počasi smo vse skupaj pospravili kar pod naziv globalizacija. Globalizacija je postala proces, ki naj bi  vključeval hitrejši gospodarski razvoj, večjo izbiro za potrošnike in lažje medsebojno sodelovanje v svetovnem merilu. Med izzivi in negativnimi posledicami pa pogosto omenjajo izgubo lokalnih kulturnih posebnosti, večanje razlik med bogatimi in revnimi, izkoriščanje delovne sile v manj razvitih državah ter globalne okol...

Professionals and uncontrollable weather

  We are well aware that no one really makes the weather and we cannot blame anyone for the increasingly frequent storms that threaten our homes. At least hypothetically, no one causes strong winds, nor abnormal amounts of precipitation, which hypothetically consequently cause landslides and  rivers had raisen. Of course, we have experts who take care of rivers. We also have experts who take care of wastewater. And of course we also have bills and/or fees. Clogged drains and swollen rivers that cause floods and of course roads with rivers, streams and torrents rolling over them, and slippery slopes, according to some opinions, should not exist. Nor should we hear that someone had to move the construction of a house towards the now slippery slope in order to obtain a location and building permit.   Slovenia's flood lesson happened recently, namely in August 2023, when two-thirds of Slovenia's territory was affected. And this happened just a year after a catastrophic f...
