na isti dan pa odgovorna urednica Financ z njej lastno lucidnostjo razglablja o ceni bencina in minimalnih plačah v Teksasu, Sloveniji in Franciji. Pa o socialni državi, nizkih davkih in kapitalizmu s človeškim obrazom.

Tank bencina = tri ure minimalne plače
To niso pobožne želje. To je Amerika.Minimalna plača v Teksasu je 7,25 dolarja na uro, rezervoar bencina – 50 litrov – pa stane 26,3 dolarja. To pomeni, da za tank bencina z minimalno plačo delate tri ure.

Je odkrila Ameriko? Ne! Odkrila je v psevdo pragmatičnost zavit populizem iz ideološke enajste šole pod mostom.

Če bi pa res hotela odkrivati Ameriko, bi ji priporočil, naj prebere npr. tole:

In discussing this transformation, he barely mentions Donald Trump by name. Also eschewing Russian bots, James Comey, and the failings of the Clinton campaign, he focusses on the larger forces that created an environment in which such a nonentity could blackguard his way to power. The analysis is an unsparing one. “We embarked on long, unnecessary and ultimately unwinnable wars far from home,” Volcker writes. “We failed to recognize the costs of open markets and rapid innovation to sizable fractions of our own citizenry. We came to think that inventive financial markets could discipline themselves. We underestimated how much the growing size, economic weight, and ambitions of other countries, most critically China, would come to upset the easy assumption of America’s unique global reach.”
This is a lengthy indictment. In narrowing it down, Volcker analyzes recurring failures at the top of major corporations, banks, public-sector bodies, and universities. The common factors he identifies are self-dealing, shortsightedness, and a lack of public-mindedness. Although Volcker doesn’t resort to the language that Bernie Sanders (and also Trump) used in 2015 and 2016, his book amounts to an amicus brief in favor of the argument that large swaths of the economy have been rigged for the benefit of affluent insiders, and so has the political system.
