What do the Pirates Mean Here?

Conservatives in Europe: Europe is destroying its competitiveness against China by the Green Deal and by rejecting nuclear.

Meanwhile China hold my bowl of rice.

Mikuláš Peksa is a pirate and therefore a moron and an asshole.

China does not have a fucking Green Deal, they are burning coal, and building nuclear reactors.

China has better sun than most of Europe, making solar panels much more productive.

Ukraine: Winter Cooking

In the heat of August I wrote, I sensed it, Ukraine is getting slowly cooked. Winter cold requires more heat, and Ukraine is getting slowly drained of its juices…

Few days ago, I noticed a report that the Russians cut off the road from Pokrovsk to Konstantinivka. Pokrovsk is a logistic hub for the Donbas and its siege marks the beginning of the end for Ukraine in this region. Ukrainian military would not be able to easily move supplies and men power.

Few days ago, pro-Ukrainian accounts were all rejoicing, they reported panic among the Russians in Kursk, Ukrainian military was on the move. But then videos started appearing of Ukrainian POWs, many Ukrainians POWs.

The above is this knucklehead in the Summer in the town Sudzha at the Pyaterochka. This shop became a meme. The guy above filmed himself all joyous in Summer after he looted the shop. Below is he captured by Russian forces.

Russian forces are on the move in Kurakhovo, Toretsk, Chasiv Yar, Ukraine’s defense in the Donbas is crumbling. Have you heard about the French trained Anne of Kiev battalion? This unit mass deserted near Pokrovsk. Desertions are very common in the Ukrainian military. I am wondering how long can Ukraine resist?

What cities do you want to visit?

Florence, and visit the galleries, maybe spend few nights there. I have been to the city several times but my parents are not very art oriented, and we only walked around the city and ate in a restaurant there…

Do you ever see wild animals?

I saw a hedgehog few years ago. I see squirrels a lot. Otherwise, my workplace has a lot of trophies of deer, fallow deer, roe deer, chamois, wild boar, mouflon. Roe deer and boar live in the woods and sometimes can be seen on the field.

Church the Landlord

Organized religion in Czechia works like a business…

Guys, the Catholic Church has sway over like 10% of the Czech population, and Czech Protestants are a marginal phenomenon. But little did I realize is that the Catholic Church is like a big landlord in Prague.

According to Seznam, the Catholic Church wants to become a major player in the rental market. The Archdiocese of Prague already owns 300 flats costing 2 billion CZK, which is around 87 million USD. They are planning to buy another 550.

The Catholic Church was recently a beneficiary of so called Church restitutions, whereby properties confiscated by the Communist regime were returned back to organization. The properties were often in sorry state and the assets had to be restructured and made profitable. By 2030, the Czech government should stop the state sponsorship of Churches, and they will have to find other means to sustain themselves. Given the low religiosity of the people tithes are not an option.
