porucnik vasic Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Food stamps su bile zakon. Tamo ranih 90ih dok sam bio na faksu, znao sam dosta likova koji su ih dobijali i kupovao ih za 50 cents on a dollar :) Баш из тог разлога треба да се ограниче.
akibono Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Epska bitka, baš apsurdna scena What happened next turned what should have been one of the most joyous days of my life into one of the most painful. While I was on the sidewalk a few blocks away from where I had delivered my speech, a Seattle police officer pepper-sprayed me in the face. I was on the phone with my mom to arrange my pick-up when a searing pain shot through my ears, nostril and eyes, and spread across my face. http://www.thenation.com/blog/196713/i-was-pepper-sprayed-seattle-police-mlk-day

Eraserhead Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Znam da ce se zazeku svideti :D Jobs Report Crushes It Evo sad i nesto stvarno zanimljivo: ON A snow-covered bluff overlooking the Sheboygan river stands the Waelderhaus, a faithful reproduction of an Austrian chalet. It was built by the Kohler family of Wisconsin in the 1920s as a tribute to the homeland of their father, John Michael Kohler, who had immigrated to America in 1854 at the age of ten. John Michael moved to Sheboygan, married the daughter of another German immigrant, who owned the local foundry, and took over his father-in-law’s business. He transformed it from a maker of ploughshares into a plumbing business. Today Kohler is the biggest maker of loos and baths in America. Herbert Kohler, the boss (and grandson of the founder), has done so well selling tubs that he has been able to pursue his other passion—golf—on a grand scale. The Kohler Company owns Whistling Straits, the course that will host the Ryder Cup in 2020. German-Americans are America’s largest single ethnic group (if you divide Hispanics into Mexican-Americans, Cuban-Americans, etc). In 2013, according to the Census bureau, 46m Americans claimed German ancestry: more than the number who traced their roots to Ireland (33m) or England (25m). In whole swathes of the northern United States, German-Americans outnumber any other group (see map). Some 41% of the people in Wisconsin are of Teutonic stock. Yet despite their numbers, they are barely visible. Everyone knows that Michael Dukakis is Greek-American, the Kennedy clan hail from Ireland and Mario Cuomo was an Italian-American. Fewer notice that John Boehner, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Rand Paul, a senator from Kentucky with presidential ambitions, are of German origin. Companies founded by German-Americans tend to play down their roots, too: think of Pfizer, Boeing, Steinway, Levi Strauss or Heinz. Buried somewhere on their websites may be a brief note that “Steinway & Sons was founded in 1853 by German immigrant Henry Engelhard Steinway in a Manhattan loft on Varick Street”. But firms that play up their Germanic history—as Kohler does, in a short film shown at the Waelderhaus—are rare. German immigrants have flavoured American culture like cinnamon in an Apfelkuchen. They imported Christmas trees and Easter bunnies and gave America a taste for pretzels, hot dogs, bratwursts and sauerkraut. They built big Lutheran churches wherever they went. Germans in Wisconsin launched America’s first kindergarten and set up Turnvereine, or gymnastics clubs, in Milwaukee, Cincinnati and other cities. After a failed revolution in Germany in 1848, disillusioned revolutionaries decamped to America and spread progressive ideas. “Germanism, socialism and beer makes Milwaukee different,” says John Gurda, a historian. Milwaukee is the only big American city that had Socialist mayors for several decades, of whom two, Emil Seidel and Frank Zeidler, were of German stock. As in so many other countries where Germans have settled, they have dominated the brewing trade. Beer barons such as Jacob Best, Joseph Schlitz, Frederick Pabst and Frederick Miller made Milwaukee the kind of city that more or less had to call its baseball team the Brewers. “Germans were not part of the colonial aristocracy,” says Rüdiger Lentz, director of the Aspen Institute Germany. Many Italian and Polish immigrants were middle-class, and they quickly became politically active. German immigrants tended to be poor farmers, which is why they headed for the vast fertile spaces of the Midwest. “The Italians stormed the city halls; the Germans stormed the beer halls,” went the saying. During the first world war, parts of America grew hysterically anti-German. Some Germans were spat at in the street. The teaching of their language was banned in schools. Sauerkraut was renamed “liberty cabbage”. German books were burned, dachshunds kicked and German-Americans forced to buy war bonds to prove their patriotism. When New Ulm, a predominantly German town in Minnesota, refused to let its young men join the draft, the National Guard was sent in. After the war, German-Americans hunkered down. Many stopped speaking German and anglicised their names. The second world war saw less anti-German hysteria, although some 10,000 German-Americans were interned as enemy aliens. President Franklin Roosevelt conspicuously appointed military commanders with names like Eisenhower and Nimitz to fight the Axis powers. But the Holocaust gave German-Americans yet another reason to hide their origins. Today German-Americans are quietly successful. Their median household income, at $61,500, is 18% above the national norm. They are more likely to have college degrees than other Americans, and less likely to be unemployed. A whopping 97% of them speak only English at home. They have assimilated and prospered without any political help specially tailored for their ethnic group. “The Greeks and the Irish have a far stronger support network and lobby groups than we do,” says Peter Wittig, Germany’s ambassador in America. There was no German-American congressional caucus until 2010, though there were caucuses for potatoes, bicycles and Albanian affairs. The German caucus has quickly grown to about 100 members, who lobby for trade and investment as well as the preservation of their common cultural heritage. Five years ago a small German-American Heritage Museum opened in Washington, DC. “Germany has never been as popular as it is today,” says Petra Schürmann, the museum’s director. German fests and Oktoberfests have sprung up all over the country, and they are not only about brats and beer, but also about tracing genealogy and displaying traditional dress and craftsmanship. Stuff made by Germans sells. And Americans travel to Germany in droves: the young to hip Berlin and older folks to pretty Heidelberg. On February 9th Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, will meet Barack Obama in the White House. They will discuss the war in Ukraine, transatlantic trade, the wobbling euro zone and the upcoming G7 summit in Bavaria. Unlike Indian-Americans, who went wild when their new prime minister visited America, German-Americans will barely notice. Edited February 7, 2015 by Eraserhead
theanswer Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Kako je onda porasla nezaposlenost? Zato što više ljudi aktivno traži posao, to je u suštini dobra vest za ekonomiju.
Zaz_pi Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Bravo. Ali to znaci da je nezaposlenost do sada vestacki spustana i da nema veze sa danasnjim zvanicnim prikazivanjem, realno U3 je negde 7.5-8%. O tome pise i Galup koji prati nezaposlesnot: The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment Here's something that many Americans -- including some of the smartest and most educated among us -- don't know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading. Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market. None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment. There's another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this. Yet another figure of importance that doesn't get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find -- in other words, you are severely underemployed -- the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%. Few Americans know this. There's no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie. And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity -- it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream. Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class. I hear all the time that "unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren't feeling it." When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street start reporting the truth -- the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real -- then we will quit wondering why Americans aren't "feeling" something that doesn't remotely reflect the reality in their lives. And we will also quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class. Da ne govorim o kvalitetu tih poslova i zaradama, koje su i dalje realno nize nego 2007. I to je glavni razlog sto SAD ekonomija raste oko 2% godinje, iako realno treba jos nize oko 1-1.5%, samo da nema ogromne manipualcije FEDa i Obamine adminstracije, sa stampanjem i nultim kamatnim stopama, sto ce SAD skupo platiti u buducnosti. Primera radi, za vreme Busa mladjeg FED nikada nije bio na 0 kamatnim stopama, niti je stampao novce, poceo je da dize kamate na kraju prvog mandata Busa mladjeg, tada se to smatralo zakasnelim, danas FED jos nije poceo da podize kamate sa 0 a Obama za godinu i po izlazi iz Bele kuce. treba se setiti sta se desilo kada je FED dizao kamate prosli put. Inace u 4 kvartalu SAD ekonomija je znacajjno usporila, iako je cena nafte daleko niza bila nego u prethodnom kvartalu. Razlog za jaka prethodna dva kvartala, pre 4, je sto Obama i njegova adminsitracija manipulisu sa ekonomijom preko zdravstvenog osiguranja i potrosnje u zdravstvu(treba pogledati strukturu zaposljavanja) inace bi SAD ekonomija bila jos nize ali to sve ima svoju cenu. :)
Eraserhead Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Znaci uvek kada se nesto dobro dogodi to Obama manipulise, a kada se nesto lose dogodi onda je to realna slika. Kao da gledam FOX News :D
Zaz_pi Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Mene zabole i za Obamu i GOP. Jedni i drugi su najobicniji lazovi koji glume neko ludilo neshvatajuci, ili maskirajuci, sto je mnogo gore i verovatnije, stvarno stanje u SAD. Vidim da vise ne verujes ni Galupu. :) Ovo sto sam napisao za Obamu i Dzordza busa mladjeg je istina. Sto se tice Fox news, takvo propagandno smece nije bilo ni u SSSR i samo pokazuje stanje u SAD, jer je to najgledanija mreza.
theanswer Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Bravo. Ali to znaci da je nezaposlenost do sada vestacki spustana i da nema veze sa danasnjim zvanicnim prikazivanjem, realno U3 je negde 7.5-8%. O tome pise i Galup koji prati nezaposlesnot: The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment Nije ništa veštački spuštano ili podizano, to je kriterijum za izračunavanje nezaposlenosti i naravno da on nije 100% tačan i precizan, ali to nije ništa novo. Svaki put kada se objavljuje i stopa nezaposlenosti objavljuje se i ta "added jobs" cifra i kao i cifra onih koji su ušli ili napustili "radnu snagu". Kada je objavljivano tokom recimo predsedničkih izbora 2012. da je nezaposlenost opala, protivargument Republikanaca je bio npr da su ljudi destimulisani da uopšte traže posao i da zato nezaposlenost opada. Edited February 7, 2015 by theanswer
Zaz_pi Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Oko predsednickih izbora je bila prica o cistoj manipulaciji, Dzek Velc iz GE je otvoreno napao administraciju tada, i po svemu sudeci su bili u pravu. Census ‘faked’ 2012 election jobs report In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington. The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated. And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it. Ali to ne radi samo Obama, niti prvi niti je poslednji, pre ce to biti pravilo. Sto se tice spustanja nezaposlenosti izbacivanjem broja ljudi iz radne snage, to je malo duza prica sa ovogo foruma u komunikaciji sa Erasom. Da ne govorim o revizijama sa sezonskim uticajem, bas je u petak to bio slucaj.
