Torino, dove vivo, è un po' la culla dei #M5S. in fondo sono la costola dei #NOTAV, essi stessi una costola del #PD. Non deve stupire quindi che la città sia governata da loro, ma ricordate: diversa è la faccia, non la mente. (2/13)
Quindi, una cosa che mi ha colpito in questi giorni è un buon esempio di come funziona l'Italia. La municipalizzata dei trasporti si chiama #GTT (gtt.to.it/cms/), e @pierofassino fece più tentativi di privatizzarla, senza successo. (3/13)
Ma l'esempio parte da un comportamento di oggi. Come tutte le aziende pubbliche di trasporti, ha un problema di persone che usano il servizio senza pagare il biglietto.
Per ridurre il fenomeno, in tempi normali ci sono gruppi di controllori che girano a bordo dei mezzi.(4/13)
Ma con il #COVID19, non girano più. Il protocollo funziona così: I controllori stanno presso fermate scelte a caso, e fermano chi scende per controllare se ha o non ha un documento di viaggio valido.(5/13)
Io sono già stato controllato due volte. Alla seconda, da buona testa di ******, ho detto al controllore: "sa che non serve, vero?"
Non ha neanche cambiato espressione.
Ora vi dico perchè secondo me non serve. (6/13)
Pippo ha il biglietto. Pluto no. A Porta Nuova, dove entrambi devono scendere a prendere il treno, ci sono i controllori: Cosa fa Pippo e cosa fa Pluto?(7/13)
Pippo, "homo oeconomicus", stima il tempo del tragitto fino alla fermata successiva e ritorno a piedi contro la stima della durata del controllo. Se il primo è soggettivamente inferiore, resta a bordo e scende cento metri dopo.(8/13)
Pluto, "homo oeconomicus" pure lui, invece non fa neanche la stima: Scende alla fermata dopo. dove i controllori non ci sono.
Quindi, quale sottrattore del denaro pubblico viene colto dai controlli? (9/13)
Questo (grazie, @lubenasich ):
In pratica, è un test di intelligenza(scarsa) (10/13)
Quale è il problema? che a meno di aspettarsi che una grossa percentuale di trasgressori siano ciucci, ripetutamente, e non parlino tra di loro, Il vero Vilcoyote non è il trasgressore che si fa beccare. E' chi ha montato la procedura? (11/13)
Chi è responsabile dell'organizzazione del lavoro? i controller interni? la magistratura che non procede per danno erariale? Io che metto la mano in tasca e dò il mio abbonamento a controllare invece di fare esposti o denunce? (12/13)
Chi lo sa. So solo questo: il biglietto da visita della mia città al turista intelligente, è che siamo, collettivamente, dei cretini. (end)
Germany’s net-zero bills never shrink and the promised boom in green industries and jobs never materializes. via @WSJopinion There's a rookie mistake in the article.(/) @degiorgiod @MeredithAngwin @MarcoCantamessa @petunianelsole @moutetwsj.com/articles/germa…
"[...]plugging the hole will require either higher electricity rates or more taxpayer subsidies."
No, they are not different things: they are DESIGNED to look like different things, and one is meant to be harsher.(/)
If the whole "let's add an elaborate #Wind and #Solar scheme over the existing grid to emit less during the hours those actually produce electricity" was entirely falling on general taxation, those costs would distort the economy by lowering productivity and general demand.(/)
If our hapless western politicians weren't well, hapless, they'd know that THIS is the time to "Show the Israeli flag on buildings". And not for Jews.(/)

Because by not making it abundantly clear that in free country you can express your views, collectively as well, but every citizen is responsible for its opinions and pays for their consequences, and ABOVE ALL there is the same fair treatment for all, (/)
/ governments are destroying both the moral base of our society AND our social contract. Think of it this way:
You are a lower middle class father of two married in church. You join the Truckers in Canada 🇨🇦.
Police in riot gear shot rubber bullets point blank at you.(/)
Since the pro-palestinian framing on main stream media has started in earnest (I am watching a press program now here in #Italy), allow me to give you a vaccine dose. At all times, ask yourself: 1. Is (insert bigwig here) asking for hostage release by Hamas as a precondition?(/)
2. In your opinion, what keeps Hamas from releasing them on their own accord, considering that their official position is that atrocities were tag alongs not at their order?
(/)
3. Why is that no whistleblowing on hostage position is going on by Gaza civilians whose houses are under threat? Israel is affer all composed by a sizeable muslim population, who hold passports, vote. They'd happily give one for those lives.(/)
Deposit insurance is there to avoid runs on banks, where depositors all want to cash in all at once. But the key word is "cash", i.e. the number each of us sees at the #ATM machine or on the bank site as his own cash balance. However that's not cash. (/)
I have seen grandiose public plans about financial education, and deposit insurance is an ex post measure.. non one vaccinated citizens by telling them the truth: "when you deposit cash at a bank, you are LENDING them the money (which ceases to be yours). The bank invests it."(/)
Eric, we've been through a decade of easy money, finance centric solutions of 2008 which was the key to the deindustrialization of the west. Now to some extent is better and to some is worse.(/)
The better part is that goods producing companies have NEVER returned to the blind trust in the banking system they had before. Less leverage, and slamming the door in bank salesmen's faces helped. (/)
Of course there is a whole section of equities which are more financial than Casino chips, but with #Zirp and #NIRP that couldn't be helped. I am not so pessimistic about the industrial base in the #US (#Europe is a different Bedlam). (/)
"you need to have a longer time horizon" roughly translates in my book in "Run for your lives !!".
For one, if you are a final saver... you rarely HAVE a time horizon, nor you need one. Incidentally that's proof of who wrote #MIFID.(/)
MIFID questionnaires have a mandatory section on time horizon. Why that measure? because while for an individual saver that concept is basically meaningless, for those meant to be KEPT from pushing unnecessary risk onto savers it's daily bread.(/)
Banks indeed have time horizons and time preferences well and truly planted into their brains since they have a teeny weeny share capital, and finance their assets through the issuance of debt. They indeed try to match maturities across assets and liabilities. (/)
