This sounded like a techy Ron Swanson.

Its about tactics - countries with autocratic leaders usually employ similar tactics where they e.g.

1. make a big change to some segment of law (more/less important - but has to be something that hits everyone or doesn’t make sense), so the media reports on that, then make changes to it again (due to public pressure), so that media and population gets these topics in waves, just so they make everyone blind to their corruption games they play in the background,
2. or they use some politician from their party/coalition to stir the pot in their ministry they lead by playing drama queens by accusing the opposition of corruption,
3. or they leave a “less important” political role to a crazy person, they do stupid shit that takes years to fix and you essentially have constant drama and info taking away everyones attention from the important stuff.
4. etc etc

But you get the point - calling it Gulf of America essentially gives you free patriotic bonus points from your followers and also makes your opposition / people invest in something that is, in the end, total waste of time (time which could be used for something else, like educating these populist/autocratic/however you call it tactics to everyone, so that your average Joe doesn’t get fooled by it so easily).

Honestly - this is from a playbook used by every autocratic administration: “Take the attention away from the more important things”. Seen it in EU constantly: Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, etc. So sure, report it, but be aware this is a charade.

Eh I wish - Im not sure which media can be considered as reputable sources in Serbia, but you can find more info here. Just use a translator or something.

Tl;dr - they’ll basically switch to a dynamic plan which indicates when circa the bus will arrive, but this is just a ploy to hide that busses are not arriving on time or at all.

I wouldn’t praise this move at all, it is not doing anything good for those living in Belgrade.

Yeah but theres a catch as well - the timetables/schedules are scrapped too. So you wont know when will the bus arrive or will it even arrive at that day.

It doesn’t sound great when you realize you cant really enjoy a free bus ride when theres no bus coming.

Fixed!

Ill just leave this here: Steklovata - Novi God
