To nie „podatek od smartfonów”, ale rekompensata dla twórców za powielanie ich dzieł do celów prywatnych. Nie rewolucja, a aktualizacja przepisów, by wejść w XXI w. Co warto wiedzieć o opłacie reprograficznej? 👉🏻 nie jest uiszczana przez zwykłych ludzi, ale pobierana od korporacji produkujących urządzenia, które posiadają możliwość kopiowania utworów na własny użytek, 👉🏻 funkcjonuje w polskim prawie od 1994 r., ale mimo zmian technologicznych, te przepisy nie były aktualizowane od 2008 roku (w obecnym katalogu znajduje się przestarzała lista urządzeń, np. kasety magnetofonowe i VHS, a brakuje np. smartfonów), 👉🏻 dla wszystkich nowych urządzeń będzie wynosić 1 proc., dla pozostałych to maks. 2 proc. wartości, 👉🏻 jest naliczana od ceny importowej/produkcyjnej, a nie detalicznej urządzenia, 👉🏻 zmniejsza liczbę urządzeń i nośników objętych opłatą z 65 do 19. Obecnie wpływy z opłat reprograficznych w Polsce są najniższe w Europie. W 2024 roku wyniosły 35,8 mln zł (ok. 8,5 mln euro). W krajach o kilkukrotnie niższym PKB była to wartość na Słowacji 5,5 mln euro, a na Węgrzech 19 mln euro. Przy zmienionych stawkach przychody z opłaty sięgną 150-200 mln złotych rocznie. @MartaCienkowska















Między listopadem 2023 a 2025 w Polsce ubyło 53,4 tys. pracujących. To efekt zaostrzenia polityki imigracyjnej (spadek nowych pozwoleń o pracę 3x w stosunku do 2022) i starzenia się społeczeństwa. Ale: - w wielkiej piątce: +81,2 tys. - w reszcie kraju: -134,7 tys.









Przemysław Czarnek proponuje interwencyjny skup ruder, których nikt nie chce kupić.

Tesla is the most successful CON in the history of capital markets. Not because the cars are bad. But because the entire business is engineered to impress on first glance and collapse under scrutiny. And the culture around it has made facts completely IRRELEVANT. I've never seen a company where the gap between what is promised and what is delivered is this wide, for this long, with this little accountability. Tesla's Full Self-Driving system is marketed as autonomy. But it is not autonomy. It is a camera-only system running probabilistic inference. The car is making statistical guesses about what it sees, thousands of times per second, with no redundancy when those guesses are wrong. Probabilistic inference controlling a two-ton vehicle at highway speed with your family inside. NHTSA has two open investigations covering 3.2 million Tesla vehicles. One was escalated to a formal Engineering Analysis in March after 9 crashes, including a fatality, where the system FAILED to detect sun glare, fog, and dust. The cameras went blind and the car kept driving. In Austin, Tesla's robotaxi fleet has reported 15 crashes across roughly 800,000 miles. One crash every 57,000 miles. The average American driver has a police-reported crash every 500,000 miles. Tesla's robotaxis crash at roughly 4x the human rate, WITH a safety monitor sitting in the car whose only job is to prevent crashes. Waymo operates over 2,500 fully driverless vehicles across multiple cities with no human backup and maintains a crash rate 85% below human drivers across 127 million autonomous miles. Tesla has ONE unsupervised vehicle in a tiny section of Austin. But here's what really makes Tesla different from every overvalued company I've ever analyzed: The facts do not matter to the people who own this stock. Every missed deadline, every broken promise gets filtered through the same response: attack the messenger. Call them a short seller. Call them a hater. Anything to avoid looking at the actual numbers. It's an online ecosystem that has made itself completely immune to facts. And Musk baked that dynamic into the culture from the beginning. Every time the fundamentals deteriorate, the faithful don't sell. They double down. When your shareholder base treats every dip as a buying opportunity regardless of the data, the stock becomes untethered from reality entirely. That's literally a religion with a ticker symbol. I highly suggest you read Edward Niedermeyer's book Ludicrous on this. And now it even gets WORSE... CapeFearAdvisors published a piece this week that should be required reading. Tesla's 2025 CEO Performance Award contains a change-of-control provision: In the event of a change of control, ALL operational milestones are disregarded. No million robotaxis, Optimus robots, or $400 billion EBITDA. NONE of it. So if SpaceX acquires Tesla at $8.5 trillion, every tranche of Musk's 423 million share award vests immediately. A single acquisition at that price triggers the full vesting of both plans at once, with no way to claw them back. The milestones everyone argues about are just a distraction. The mechanism is the change-of-control language buried in the SEC filing. This is about engineering the largest personal wealth transfer in modern financial history and using the narrative machine to keep the price elevated long enough to execute it. I've seen every bust of the last four decades. But this one is different because the cult of personality is stronger than anything I've witnessed. The movement around this stock cannot be touched by facts, and that is what makes it so dangerous. But the math always wins. ALWAYS. It just takes longer when the con is this good.
