Ann T. Red wrote that people saw patterns in weather, wind, precipitation, and temperatures and interpreted them as evidence of climate change. At the same time, she argued, they saw no patterns regarding rapes, crime, children carrying out contract killings, sexual abuse in elderly care, falls from balconies, or dominance behaviors in society. #klimatförändringar #brottslighet #samhälle (translated)

Njemačka želi privući radnike iz inozemstva, ali sustav ulaska na tržište rada nije jednak za sve. Za građanina Hrvatske situacija je relativno jednostavna: kao građanin EU može koristiti slobodu kretanja i raditi u Njemačkoj bez radne vize. Za državljanina Bosne i Hercegovine, Srbije, Crne Gore ili druge države izvan EU pravni put ovisi o njegovoj kvalifikaciji, zanimanju, ponudi za posao i drugim uvjetima. Za visoko kvalificirane postoji Plava karta EU. Za određene kvalificirane osobe koje još nemaju posao postoji Chancenkarte. Za građane šest država Zapadnog Balkana postoji Westbalkanregelung, koja omogućuje pristup njemačkom tržištu rada i za mnoge poslove kod kojih priznata stručna kvalifikacija nije uvjet. To pokazuje koliko izraz: „Želim otići raditi u Njemačku“ zapravo obuhvaća potpuno različite situacije. Još je važnije da legalna mogućnost ulaska nije isto što i jamstvo uspješnog života nakon dolaska. Treba riješiti posao, smještaj, zdravstveno osiguranje, jezik, administraciju i imati dovoljno financijske rezerve za početak. Zato smo na AdriaVeza.de napravili početni pregled najvažnijih puteva za rad i boravak u Njemačkoj 2026.: https://adriaveza.de/hr/02-novosti/02-e-vize-i-boravak-u-njemackoj/02-e0-rad-i-vize-u-njemackoj-2026-plava-karta-chancenkarte-zapadni-balkan.html Treba li Njemačka dodatno pojednostaviti sustav radnih viza ili je važnije ubrzati postojeće postupke i učiniti ih razumljivijima?

"Please watch and, above all, listen to it. Merz and Rutte yesterday in Münster at the award ceremony for the 'Peace Prize' for NATO.

F**k you, Zoki! I have you in mind, but you're slowly getting on my "nerves." I grew up in a multicultural environment. The neighbors were Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats, a Macedonian, and one Slovenian who annoyed everyone. I learned one simple thing: roots are like underwear. Everyone has them, no one hides them, but you also don't hang them on the balcony every day for the whole street to see. Stevanović is now the second person in the country. Not the mayor of Foča, not the godfather of the Republic of Srpska, but the president of the Slovenian National Assembly. And he's going for a weekend "to the hills above Tara," where he's randomly godfathering at a church together with a person whom Slovenia has banned from entering the country. In the photos, all the political elite of the Republic of Srpska is there. He writes at home, "beautiful moments with the locals." Dodik posts a video and emphasizes that the president of the Slovenian parliament is there. So: when Dodik is unwanted in Slovenia, Slovenia goes to him. In simple terms: if you're not allowed in a tavern, you send the president of the parliament up there. And this is not a problem of origin. Everyone has roots somewhere. That's not the problem. The problem is that the position of the president of the National Assembly does not have a weekend. There is no "private visit." When you sit in that chair, you are in Slovenia, not Zoran from the neighboring village. Anyone who has at least once watched how the Austrians or Germans handle this should know that. Mr. Stevanović, roots are a beautiful thing. But it's better to water them at home, quietly, as we all do. Not with Dodik on the balcony. #Slovenija #Politika #Multikulturalizem (translated)
