Yes, I'm an entrepeneur.
What I see is that since getting rid of communism, a great deal of people began starting their own businesses and either succeeding massively because there was no real competition in most industries, or failing primarily because of the corruption, nepotism and general nonfunctioning of the state apparatus during the 90s and early 00s.
At the same time, many of the top businessmen got there by benefiting from the pilfering of state owned companies at the hands of the same communists-turned-democrats politicians and intelligence officers of late Yugoslavia.
These days, I see a lot of people who don't care about this and are taking advantage of a stable state with good infrastructure to make money doing legitimate entrepreneurship.
These are the people who either dropped the Yugoslavian mentality or were never really afflicted by it.
On the other side, and this is the majority, unfortunately, lie the people who can't get out of the past. And these can be both Yugonostalgics or Yugohaters.
Doesn't matter which, but what unites them is their mentality, which is best summarized as Expecting Something from Nothing.
My view is that it was allowed and encouraged by both sides and that's how it profited.
Also, the much vaunted economy and living standard of Yugoslavians is another silly myth. The point was that everyone was more or less equally poor. Yugoslavia slowed the progress of its republics by at lest 20 to 30 years in my estimation.
Don't know what the reason is, but of your kids said so....
Private schools teach the same basic curriculum that's required by the state. I wouldn't expect much difference.
Anyway, our education system is at least 20 years backwards.
I have had the exact opposite experiences. Consistently.
Doctors in Croatia are generally, and this would include the ones working in private clinics, but to a lesser extent, entirely out of their depth. They were badly educated by a system that wasn'tkeeping up with the times, and they're on the whole not interested in educating themselves any further. They spew obsolete therapies and approaches, they prescribe way to much antibiotics, they have zero bedside manner and they're overworked and don't care about their patients further than getting them out of the way to look at the next one.
Good luck getting an appointment for any significant test through the public system.
I'm sorry, but I can't make sense of this
This Euro thing is being blown out of proportion. Nothing will change. We've had the Euro in effect for at least 9 years.
The Kuna is directly linked to the Euro, and even if the Eurozone fell apart, it would be no different if we still had the Kuna.
This may actually be a good thing for the country, unless the the EU falls apart sometime in the next 10 years. In that case, it will be neutral.
Sorry for the long off topic post. Mods, please move to more appropriate page if you think that makes sense.
hey ... please forgive me if I am too direct, I am not the best person to say maybe unpleasant things in a more smooth way, but I hope we are all strong here ... so in short, thank you for posting; and I see the narative in your post I used to say to people just a few years ago, thinking it was my own opinion ... so indeed that is what I would like to work on, to clean more narratives out of my mind, and be on service and mirror to help anyone who wants to do it either, but it is difficult in person here as in Croatia it is almost impossible to do it on Croatian without breaking some furniture, plates, windows, throw out some mobile phones laptops etc ... or even get killed by drunk best friend ...
Generally, I went full circle of our national narative, I even was called at one point Željka Markić when she popped up sometime in 2011 - 12 haha, you will know the reference; idiotic to explain here, but just to show you the level of my confusion .... and I was entirely personally, emotionally, and professionally inside of every circle of our new Croatian society, now I see what it is partly, and I think it is worth to uncover it more ... our society and government is based almost entirely on a masonic and church-based connection through family bloodlines, that is going deep into the past more than 700 years ago, and it is all about material gain, nothing else is more important to them than money.
Attached to Vatikan, the most powerful Croats are indeed just front-row puppets, and they have an endless source of "money" they use just to control all of us. Now it is EU funds but not just that etc. And there I see the reasons why entrepreneurship in Croatia is almost deleted in these 30 years, instead to grow, because their source of money has nothing to do with the economy, and if anyone makes an economy out of some human work and happiness, in such a small country their masonic source will not be that attractive, as their source always needs some "problems" to be "solved" by them, so that is why nothing can grow and survive in modern Croatia.
In 1990 Tuđman sing the colonial contracts that they are executing now with Plenković completely, but what baffles me after I personally experienced the evil from within, is that Tito manages to make some shifts in the colonial contracts he sing, as at least he was allowed to be happy snob haha, not an angry dictator, what is the maximum that most of Croats want from promoted luxury lifestyle, and I am asking myslef how he managed to make it? As he didn't fake it ... today we can see all is fake what is presented to us, fake government and fake young "geniuses" businessman with EU funds as major investments, who made the
american dream come true in Croatia ahahhaha ... so yes we are like a comedy show full of sad people.
In Yugoslavia people were proud and all geniuses openly, we enjoyed our smartness in a way ... jealousy wasn't that present as we knew by then how to accept those who were obviously smarter leaders and learn from them, and then how to take a leadership role when needed by ourself etc .. no one was less important than another person, yes we were a variety of people, some more hard-working, some more like what we will call toady a lazy fool, but okay we all had a place in society ... as those have been sitting in front of the "show" observing how those hard workers are hardworking ... haha and mostly we will all laugh at those overworked, and those lazy ones, as no one was doing what one wasn't capable to do .... all to all materialistic gain was seen almost like a sign of underdevelopment of mind and education ...
was it because here when not tortured and scared of existence, we get tuned int the cosmic knowledge instantly?
Also, Tesla, he was from a family of priests and soldiers, related probably to many bloodlines of great importance for Europe through centuries etc, so that is how he managed to go from a little village in the mountains to NYC to do his job. But instead, to folow their lifestyle he refused it, he made his own show, he did a miracle, and even though he was hanging with them, he was never assimilated inside of the elite circles ... they were just slowing him down. Were they afraid of bigger forces than their overlords, that they can sense in persons like those? Can we say they are almost like radio emitters of cosmic knowledge, so as long as they live as an anchor of more human social structure, that will exist, and when they die if society doesn't recognize another druid or shaman, all will collapse... isn't it what is happening here now in this last 30 years?
The predatory virus is inside of each of us, so inside of each nation, inside of each group, inside of each person, and PTB and 4D STS puppeteers are simply playing that game inside of our minds, projecting the reasons for us to fight and look the world black and white.
What I see almost clearly is that our manipulated "elite" is simply serving us to their masonic predatory cannibalistic fiesta, as how to explain that they can torture their own people, telling them they are hypnotized by the lazy socialists and thinking it is help.
Also if we think that our country is also a huuugeeeee mass graveyard ... we have been literarily slaughtered every 50 - 30 years, and yes we are declining, but then again, at some parts, we are still growing and blooming and people don't want to move from our lands as it is literary FULL OF LIFE ENERGY.
And just to summarise for now how our country operates from globalistic and government pov:
Croatian major scientific national investments and work after the civil war are dedicated to numerous DNA state and privately owned labs.
Croatian economy, heh - we are the most EU-supported developers of autonomous cars + a few IT mega companies who are developing accounting and communication protocols for UK investors ... hm ...
Croatian tourism - 70% of our tourism is owned by a Saudi prince - Dalmatia, and the rest is by Lurssen group - Krvaner ...
Is there maybe something else that is going on here while we are blindly supporting that again? Or are those all-new narratives inside of my mind???
