--- Lepre de București Cum un caz medical izolat a devenit încă o perdea de fum într-o țară obosită de propriile crize --- 1. Lead — Cazul de la Cluj și isteria importată în București În ultimele zile, România a fost lovită de o „știre-bombă”: lepra la Cluj. Un caz izolat, tratabil, confirmat la o femeie care lucra într-un salon SPA. Medical vorbind, nimic spectaculos. Dar politic și mediatic, parcă a pornit Apocalipsa: declarații peste declarații, comunicate urgente, miniștri și purtători de cuvânt ieșind la rampă ca și cum ar fi izbucnit o epidemie în centrul orașului. Și nu doar atât — cazul a fost folosit drept muniție într-un climat deja încărcat: proteste, tensiuni pe justiție, scandaluri nerezolvate, demisii fără efect și, în curând, creșteri masive de taxe. În tot acest zgomot, lepra devine doar un titlu util. Restul se joacă în culise. --- 2. Ce este lepra — și ce NU este Lepra, sau boala Hansen , este o infecție bacteriană rară și lentă, care se transmite greu. Nu sare...
Modern Slavery: From Iron Chains to Chains of Credit
There was a time when a slave was easy to spot: he wore chains, worked on a plantation, and got a beating if he dared look up. Today’s modern slave has a smartphone, a Netflix subscription, and dreams of a Bali vacation. But his freedom is just Wi-Fi-powered illusion.
Welcome to the age of optimized slavery, where the whip has been replaced with deadlines, and the shack has become a 30-year mortgage. Chains are no longer needed – contracts, bills, and monthly subscriptions are the new shackles.
From Whips to Open-Space Offices
Once upon a time, a slave worked from dawn till dusk. Today, you work “flexibly,” which means anytime and from anywhere, because your laptop is just an extension of your cell. Working from home? A great joke – now you're exploited without even getting free office coffee.
The Masters Today: Corporations, Not Plantation Owners
In the past, slave masters were easy to identify. Today, they’re smiling CEOs giving TEDx talks about "being your best self" while paying you just enough to survive. They don’t steal your skin with a whip – they drain your time, health, and hope with KPIs and motivational slogans.
The Great Illusion: The Illusion of Choice
You think you’re free because you can choose between iPhone and Samsung? That you can vote? That you can buy a used car? At least slaves of the past knew they were slaves. Today’s slaves live in gilded cages where every option comes with interest, and every dream has hidden fees.
90% of People Work Just to Pay
Everything you produce, buy, or dream of inevitably flows into the pockets of the 1%. You work, they profit. You pay taxes, they hide profits in tax havens. This is efficiency: no chains, just algorithms.

Conclusion: They Took the Whip and Gave Us a Phone
Instead of cornmeal, we’re fed marketing. Instead of being told “you’re a slave,” we’re told “you’re an employee with opportunities.” And the best part? We fight to climb the ladder of slavery and brag about our titles.
But hush now, it’s Monday tomo
rrow and your meeting’s at 9.
