Public Economics: Who Pays the Bills?
Today we are diving into economics, the single biggest source of societal headaches. To make a labyrinth of billions easy to grasp, I’m using a simple family metaphor: politicians act like parents, and society like kids who constantly want to buy things. From current spending (healthcare, school, defense) to capital investments, we will look at how state money comes and goes, revealing why a balanced budget remains a permanent illusion.

The perfect job (doesn't) exist!
Is the perfect job a utopia or a denied right? Based on my disastrous journey from underpaid internships in Milan to stagnant offices in Germany, I analyze what it actually takes to define an "ideal" workplace. It’s not about dreams, but basics: transparent job ads, standard home office, inflation-adjusted salaries, and the privacy of one’s own office vs. the madness of open spaces. It’s time to stop gold-plating the trash and start demanding honesty, time, and dignity.

Gold: Beyond the Glitter
Gold is the mirror of our history: incorruptible while everything else changes. We worshipped it as the flesh of gods, used it to finance empires, and today we hide it inside our smartphones. It is the golden thread connecting an ancient Pharaoh to a NASA engineer. Perhaps its true value isn't its price per gram, but how, for 6,000 years, it has told the story of who we are and how far we are willing to go to shine. A unique journey from ancient myths to modern science and sp

Inflation: The silent theft of money.
Inflation is the "final boss" of the economy: a silent enemy that devalues your money as prices rise. It’s not magic; it’s a systemic choice. From Ancient Rome’s debased coins to the wheelbarrows of marks in the Weimar Republic, history shows that when money is abundant, purchasing power dies. In a world of fiat currency created out of thin air, saving is a guaranteed loss. The solution? Seek real scarcity: gold, real estate, stocks, or Bitcoin. Stop being a victim and start

Ukraine: A $12-15 trillion war.
Forget the rhetoric of values: the war in Ukraine is a massive business plan. With critical raw material deposits valued at over $12 trillion, controlling these lands will decide who dominates the tech transition for the next fifty years. While Russia invades for economic survival, Europe funds Kyiv to avoid becoming Moscow's submissive client. In this clash of giants, Ukraine is the chessboard, and freedom is merely the branding for a cynical, high-stakes investment.

Immigration: The necessary evil!
Immigration isn't a romantic ideal; it’s an economic patch. As an immigrant in Germany since 2013, I see a West shouting "go back home" while its pension system drowns. Without foreigners, who will fund our elderly’s checks? Who will take the "lowly" jobs that we, clutching our degrees, refuse to do? The State chooses the shortcut: instead of investing uncertain billions in birth rates, it imports ready-to-use labor. It’s cynical but mathematical: without us, the lake runs dr

Profile of a Leader.
Being president isn't a divine mission; it’s a job that requires thick skin and mediation skills. In a world of "fluid" and incompetent politicians, salvation lies in ideological clarity. Governing well isn't altruism, it's pure pragmatism: if the people are fed, they’ll guarantee your seat for twenty years and let you get rich in peace. True leadership is a balance between international diplomacy and the ability to ensure your own power remains untouched and profitable.

The Iranian Circus.
What’s happening in Iran is far from normal. We are witnessing the imperialist madness of a White House playing Risk with the world. Paradoxically, Iran’s nuclear program began in the 1950s with American support. Today, amid targeted strikes and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump finds himself isolated: even NATO allies are saying no, choosing to negotiate with Tehran for oil rather than follow a senseless war. The real wolf isn't always the one being pointed at.

Chronicle of a failed politics.
From Ancient Athens to the French barricades, we fought for centuries for the right not to be subjects. But today, after decades of failure, it seems we've forgotten the most important lesson: politics isn't a football match or a distant deity; it’s a job contract. We are the Presidents of a company called the State, and politicians are our CEOs. If the company fails, the responsibility for the next "hiring" lies solely with us. It's time to wake up and get back to the office

Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is more than a name; it’s a brand built on pink marble and excess. From his 1980s New York triumphs to the thunderous financial cracks of Atlantic City casinos, his life is a seesaw between genius and gamble. With "The Apprentice," he turned cynicism into a spectacle, entering American homes before conquering Washington. An outsider who pulverized the political system, turning reality TV into reality and becoming the 45th and 47th President of the United States.
