Eric Schmidt (former Google) warns after visiting Ukraine: Russia has improved, transitioning to total war (mass production + rapid innovations). Ukraine's advantage in rapid innovations is disappearing (e.g., reactive Shaheds, own satellites). The main problem is the lack of mass production of drones/weapons. (translated)
BIS warns in its annual report about managers of state-owned companies who have appropriated state firms and subdued supervisory boards. You can clearly see it at the VZP Insurance Company. And personal relationships also explain why the director of PVZP unlawfully refused to provide me with any information. Terrible reading. (translated)
From the Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto/BitBay, clients' money has vanished. The estimated damage is at least 2.4 billion zlotys.

The state's and authorities' subsidy policy has been based for years on the principle that the main thing is to spend the subsidy. It does not matter how, it does not matter with what effect and impact. The consequences are catching up with us.

The state has been ignoring basic rules for years - to measure the impacts of what I pay. Instead, it makes excuses and ignores criticism and recommendations. The consequences affect all of us.

In AML (anti-money laundering) at Czech banks, you have certainly encountered it. Today, I went through the same at a US bank. The same detail, the same questions.

The deputies of ANO shout that we should care about more important things. Drivers, how manly the Turk behaved when he took down the ambulance after his own offense.
