📖 Унгарският писател Ласло Краснахоркаи е новият лауреат на Нобеловата награда за литература.
📖 “Светът, който създава Краснахоркаи, е безнадежден, но в него винаги има някаква приказност”, казва преводачката от унгарски Светла Кьосева.

Нобелистът Ласло Краснахоркаи цепи мрака с вяра в литературата

На български предстоят нови издания и преводи на унгарския "майстор на апокалипсиса"

When Russian citizens who have been involved in dissident activities seek asylum in Bulgaria they are often rejected – and the reasons remain unclear.

радвам се за тях и семействата им и не мога да си представя какво са преживели. чудя се дали Стефан Манчев и другите малоумни клакьори тука ще отбележат, както нагло правеха със снимки на изпосталели палестинци, че не им се виждат прегладнели?

I interviewed one of these factory workers in Los Angeles. She gets paid three cents to sew a zipper, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt.

This is how fast fashion brands like Fashion Nova can put "Made in USA" tags on dress shirts that retail for only $25

"Every day at 6 am, Bilma boards a bus that shuttles her to downtown Los Angeles’s Fashion District. When she reaches the garment factory an hour later, she starts working immediately, without punching in. Like thousands of other garment workers in the United States, Bilma’s wages aren’t tethered to the clock but rather to the quantity of operations she executes. Three cents for a zipper or sleeve, five cents for a collar, and seven cents to prepare the top part of a skirt before she passes it onto the next sewing operator in line. Assembling an entire dress earns her a mere 15 cents. Bilma toils away on garments primarily for fast-fashion labels such as Fashion Nova, Lulus, and Lucy in the Sky, who prioritize quickly stocking on-trend items over the quality of materials. These companies peddle things like $80 maxi dresses, $25 poplin dress shirts, and $5 crop tops, all modeled by beautiful people and bedecked with the tantalizing promise of low-cost glamor."

"This worker payment system, known as “piecework” in the garment industry, is how US-based manufacturers can sidestep labor laws that require companies to pay at least the minimum wage. Rather than compensating Bilma for the exhausting 12-hour shifts—a regimen that, according to LA County’s minimum wage requirement, should yield $202.80—her pay is determined by the individual tasks she performs, which can fluctuate daily. Despite her adept handling of hundreds of garments a day, Bilma’s earnings typically linger around $50 per day. That’s $300 weekly for the standard six-day grind and $350 if she opts for Sunday labor. Doing what she can with this modest income, Bilma spends $400 a month to live in a two-bedroom apartment with six other people, some of whom are day laborers. In this crowded arrangement, two occupants squeeze into each bedroom, while two more lay claim to the living room. Bilma sleeps in the corner of the bustling kitchen."

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

нямам проблем да е светло сутрин. да се става по светло е нормално и съгласувано с естествения биологичен ритъм на човека

много хора бягат сутрин. дори да не бягат, се налага да излязат сутрин, за да отидат на работа. по-полезно (и нормално) ми се струва да е светло в 8 сутринта, отколкото в 10 вечерта

лятото дните и без това са дълги, изтезанието да ставаме по тъмно поне месец есента не си струва само за да се стъмва в 22 вместо в 21 часа през юни. долу лятното време!
