Setjum hlutina í samhengi

Þið getið dundað ykkur við að fact-tækka þetta, því þetta eru allt upplýsingar sem eru aðgengilegar á netinu.  Svo: endilega.

Gross-innkoma á ári, svona ca, í íslenskum krónum:

 1.300.000.000.000 - Íslenska Ríkið (áætlað 2024)
 3.366.766.000.000 - Caterpillar (2023)
26.886.460.000.000 - Samsung (2023)

Caterpillar halar inn næstum þrefalt meiri pening (fyrir útgjöld) en Íslenska ríkið.  Samsung halar inn 20X meira.

Bara eitthvað til að hafa í huga þegar valdhafar landsins eru að gera sig breiða: eitthvað fyrirtæki sem framleiðir skurðgröfur er meira virði.

FTX gaurinn fer í djeilið

"“The Justice Department has filed charges alleging that Samuel Bankman-Fried perpetrated a range of offenses in a global scheme to deceive and defraud customers and lenders of FTX and Alameda, the defendant’s crypto hedge fund, as well as a conspiracy to defraud the United States government,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said.

Michael J. Driscoll, assistant director of the FBI’s New York office, was blunt about Mr. Bankman-Fried’s misuse of FTX deposits to pay Alameda’s expenses and to make other investments."

Frakkar hafa sín vandamál

"On Wednesday afternoon, a crowd of migrants from Turkey breached security lines at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport over the deportation of a friend, injuring 3.

The mob attack came in response to the deportation of a 24-year-old Kurdish activist named Firaz Korkmaz, according to reports:

Korkmaz is apparently a member of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a militant political group seeking greater rights and autonomy for Kurdish citizens of Turkey."

Nú hafa frakkar vandamál Tyrkja líka.  Gott fyrir þá.

Flórída maðurinn hugsar rökrétt

"In a March 27, 2024, FOX News interview Johnson stood by his comments, noting, “I said [at the press conference] if you shoot accurately, and you kill the guy, you save taxpayers money. And I also said that if somebody gets killed during a home invasion, the odds of them re-offending are zero. And we like those odds, which we do.”"

Á meðan eru þeir fyrir norðan að lúta í lægra haldi fyrir mönnum með frumstæð vopn.

Stanslaust vesen allstaðar.  Jafnvel morðóð alræðisríki eru ekki örugg fyrir reiðu fólki.
