W pierwszych FPS sprawa była prosta - strzelało się do Niemców. Potem przestało to być sympatyczne, Niemcy to w końcu nasi ziomale, a i formuła się lekko wyczerpała. Potem było już tylko gorzej, szukanie wroga na siłę, ostatnie lata to już w ogóle strzelanie do zombiakow i zmyślonych oponentów. Teraz jednak Rosja sama wystawiła się na ostrzał i mam nadzieję, że producenci gier skorzystają z ich "ofiary" XD Marzy mi się misja

Doszliśmy do momentu, w który ceny jednego z podstawowych towarów w kraju nie są już dyktowane przez ceny na rynkach światowych i wartość dolara, tylko przez dziwnego pana w telewizji. Może @orlen_lite będzie w stanie wyjaśnić jak to działa?
I niech ktoś teraz powie, że Polska to dalej państwo wolnorynkowe.

Cummings and Johnson evil geniuses? Hardly, just lazy and incompetent
They didn’t doubt him because lies are so common in contemporary politics they blow past us like dust in the wind. No one checked, apart from Wiechers. “In retrospect, I could pretend I knew not to believe Cummings and Johnson,” he told me from Germany, where he watches British and American public life with a horrified fascination. “But I began by wondering what he had written on his blog last year.”
He found that Cummings had posted on 4 March 2019 on the dangers of the Sars coronavirus in a wider piece on pandemics. Or so he wanted us to believe. The post struck Wiechers as a lazy piece of writing filled with extracts from the work of others. The now suspicious Wiechers checked Cummings’ blog on the Wayback Machine, a digital library that tracks changes to billions of web pages. It showed Cummings had added the reference to coronaviruses between 9 April and 3 May 2020. Further research showed Cummings’ own site recorded that the post was edited at 8:55pm on 14 April precisely, the day Cummings told the public he had returned from his trip to Durham.
The man’s deviousness was breathtaking. His evidence that the media were running “false stories” against him was a false story. As striking was his ridiculous vanity: Cummings cared so neurotically about his reputation as a prophet that he forged the record so it appeared that he was warning of the “urgent need” to plan for a corona pandemic while the minds of lesser men and women were elsewhere.
The vanity is more than striking, it is essential to the right’s attempt to maintain its power. Supporters of strongmen do not want populist leaders who are “just like us”. They want to believe their heroes are smarter and better. The manufacture of the myth of exceptional talent is as important to the strongman as the ability to turn their voters against journalists, judges and any other independent group that might check them. Liberals should not laugh at Trump’s boast that he is a “very stable genius”. Trump has persuaded his core supporters to believe that he is a superman, who can master any problem and cut any deal, ever since he first ran for president.
Boris Johnson spent years showing off his superficial understanding of the classics by picking up Latin phrases from his well-thumbed dictionary of quotations and dropping them into his articles. A little learning was not a dangerous thing for him but a smart career move. It convinced conservative-inclined voters that Johnson had enjoyed the education of the old imperial ruling class and was not the lightweight he appeared to be. The fact that hardly any educated person studies Latin and Greek today made it easier for Johnson to bluff his way to the top when so few could see the vacuity behind the pose.
His administration has presided over thousands of needless deaths. It has never got on top of the virus. A terrible recession is all but upon us, and it’s likely that Tory zealotry will destroy the chance of a decent deal with the European Union that a broken country needs. Now more than ever, Johnson wants Conservatives to believe in the illusion of his talent.
Unlike Trump and Johnson, Cummings is not trying to fool the public but fool the fool who employs him – not the hardest of tasks, I grant you. He sinks to the level of the petty cheat because he must convince Johnson that he is a political mastermind.
Don’t be fooled as well. Too many liberals see Cummings as a manipulative demon with supernatural powers, when the most frightening thing about him, and Johnson, is their pathetic inability to control events. They are not evil geniuses but lazy, dogmatic and incompetent men, whose shabbiness is revealed as much by their little deceits as grand blunders. Don’t inflate them into monsters, who can never be beaten. Draw courage from their littleness.
