A guy made $16000 a month by spreading blatant lies. He doesn't believe them nor does he care - he just identified the market. That means there is a huge number of people hungry to read bad things about Israel and Jews, with no interest in truth or morality. At the same time,

This red-blue button experiment turn out to be quite interesting. I honestly wish a plausible real-life equivalent could be thought of, and everyone ran through a simulation where they think their choice has real consequences. It would perhaps leave many people a bit

Opet se intenzivirala priča o rastu cijena i zlim trgovcima koji su za nju odgovorni. Uobičajene argumente znamo. Kopiram tekst koji sam svojevremeno objavio na FB. Onima koji se zalažu za to da ih država štiti od kartela bih dao par stvari za razmišljanje. Pretpostavimo da
