”Another Lavender user questioned whether humans’ role in the selection process was meaningful. “I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added-value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time.”

„John von Neumann was "violent anti-communist and much more militaristic than the norm", according to his own words from one of the Senate committee hearings. He was an advocate of the "preventive war" strategy (against USSR), and was quoted in 1950:
"If you say why not bomb [the Soviets] tomorrow, I say, why not today. If you say today at five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?" ”

The opening paragraph from NYT: „CSAKVAR, Hungary — Under Communism, farmers labored in the fields that stretch for miles around this town west of Budapest, reaping wheat and corn for a government that had stolen their land.”
1. The Csákvár State Farm was originally the estate of Esterházy family (the biggest landowners in Hungary).
2. There was an agricultural cooperative in Csákvár, owned by the farmers. It was a rather successful venture. The state had not owned the land of the cooperatives in Hungary. They worked for themselves.
Is this a supposedly factual piece of quality journalism, or a cheap propaganda?
Let's see some Hungarian ones:
kutya, kutyát,kutyának, kutyán, kutyába, kutyában, kutyához, kutyának a (dog's), kutyára, kutyánál, kutyailag, kutyább, legkutyább, legeslegkutyább, kutyai, kutyáé
kutyám, kutyámat, kutyámnak, etc. (my dog)
kutyáim, kutyáimat, kutyáimnak, etc. (my dogs)
kutyájuk, kutyájukat, kutyájuknak, etc. (her/his dog)
kutyáik, kutyáikat, kutyáiknak (her/his dogs)
kutyák, kutyákat, kutyámnak etc. (plural)
etc, etc.
My beloved teacher (she was professor of ancient history, India) said that the Hungarian language is almost as difficult as the Sanskrit.
Misleading title! „ As devastating as the German inflation was, there were three hyperinflations that made the German case look amateurish: _Hungary in 1946_, Yugoslavia in 1992-1993 and Zimbabwe from 2004 to 2009. Of these three, Hungary’s was the worst of them all.”
The current Hungarian government is not extreme right-wing, but surely undemocratic. But they changed the work code in favour of Mr. Andor Jakab. There is a new mass movement against the government, based on the trade unions. A new democratic government would mean an unhappy Mr. Andor Jakab.
The right-wing Hungarian government changed the law of work relations. This rant was part of the campaign to gather support for the initiatve. It represents a very popular opinion, but popular does not mean true. For your information:1. Is it almost impossible to get a job if you are over 35; 2. Several people over 55 were fired recently. There are horrible stories.
