The Croatian Parliament made one of the decisions, a rare decision of special historical significance for the life of the Republic, for the life of the state of Croatia. We have removed the heavy millstone that has hung around us, dragging us down for 70 years or more. Domljan chaired the session all day, and then in the evening, due to other obligations, he passed this task on to the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Vladimir Šeks, who read the Decision on the termination of all ties with the SFRY to the representatives and suggested that they adopt it. #Hrvatska #Neovisnost #Sabor (translated)

AlkoInwestor wrote that his ETF on the S&P 500 was reaching new heights. He described an imagined journey on the Łódź public transport, during which he wanted to thank passengers for their purchases that support companies in the index. Among the examples, he mentioned using Instagram on an iPhone, drinking Coca-Cola, working on a laptop with Windows, eating McDonald's, browsing Amazon, and watching YouTube. He also added Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Starbucks. He presented the passengers as people who earned money and then spent it on products and services from companies in which, as he wrote, he was an indirect co-owner. The author announced that he would be buying more ETF units every month and checking whether people were working hard enough. He linked this to a call for them to buy, subscribe, scroll through social media, change phones every two years, and choose large fries at McDonald's. #inwestowanie #finanse #ETF (translated)

Arthur Schopenhauer: Knowing too many truths about man, I cannot expect anything good from him. Absolute proof of the truth of this statement is the contemplation and possibility of realizing the greatest crime of the destruction of the Earth and all humanity by the ruling global elite, as well as the endless wars and genocides committed by it. What negative qualities in humans did Schopenhauer discover that deeply disappointed him? A blind, irrational, and insatiable drive that governs all people and pushes them towards selfishness and suffering. Inherent selfishness and malice Selfishness is the main driving force of man. It is the desire for one's own well-being, which is often limitless. A person is willing to sacrifice the happiness of others to satisfy even the smallest whims. Malice (malevolence): The desire to cause harm or suffering to another without any personal gain, simply out of envy or sheer cruelty. Schopenhauer believes that humans are the only beings that take pleasure in the suffering of their kind. Lack of true morality. Most people do not possess true compassion. They behave "morally" or "civilized" only out of fear of the law, public opinion, or loss of reputation. If these external constraints are removed, a person quickly reveals their true, savage nature. Intellectual superficiality and stupidity. Schopenhauer was deeply disappointed by the low intellectual level of the majority. According to him, most people are: Herd animals: Prone to blindly follow fashion, authorities, and public opinion rather than think critically. Incapable of higher spiritual pleasures: Satisfied only with material goods, sensory pleasures, and empty conversations. Hypocrisy and falseness The philosopher views social rituals and etiquettes as a mask behind which people hide their hostility and selfishness. Politeness is merely "artificial skin," protecting us from mutual harm with our true intentions. Insatiability and eternal dissatisfaction Humans are doomed to an eternal cycle between desire (which brings pain until fulfilled) and boredom, devaluation, and weariness (which occur immediately after the desire is satisfied). This psychological trap makes people eternally grumbling, ungrateful, and unhappy beings. (translated)

NEW: RFK Jr. says Medicare spending on wound care patches exploded from $200 million in 2019 to $14 billion last year: "It's all stolen." Bad actors billed Medicare billions by slapping the most expensive skin grafts on elderly and dying patients who didn't need them. "The doctors who prescribed them would get 6% of the sales cost. And so, they were incentivized to prescribe more expensive products. In Europe, they spend 35 cents a cubic inch. We were spending $135, and that went up to $2,000 a cubic inch." "So 2019, we were paying $200 million. Last year we spent 14 billion. All stolen. It's all stolen. And we were on track to spend 23 billion this year." "We put an end to it, and we now have driven that cost down to somewhere around a billion dollars." In one Arizona case, the owners of two wound care companies pleaded guilty to more than $1.2 billion in fraudulent claims. Medicare paid over $1 million per patient for grafts slapped on elderly patients who didn't need them, many of them dying in hospice. In June, DOJ charged 11 more defendants over more than $2 billion in allograft claims, including a company accused of issuing sham invoices to inflate what Medicare paid. It feels like every week I learn a new way people were ripping off taxpayers for billions. https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2105375659401035868
