It is the duty of every citizen to maintain an exemplary, respectful attitude and to put their bit of sand into society, however small it may be, for the benefit of all. So once you get to the night hours, you're not going to make any noise to respect your neighbor's rest hours, you're going to throw away the trash -- and if it's possible to recycle it -- to the benefit of the planet, if you're traveling by public transport, you're going to hear the cries of the kids, you're going to get stuck without being wrong, you're going to avoid conflict, and you're going to help elderly people or people with mobility disabilities when they need it.

Look at the news and you realize that the bank you had next to you has earned the biggest economic benefits of all time. He closed the window two or three weeks ago, without giving solid and clear reasons. You'll think that keeping the service open would cost you more than profit, and that's why it would take the decision to close. In short, to be profitable it has applied cuts, following the pattern that services aimed at citizens should also be profitable.

In the end, instead of the window that you had next to your house, going forward, to look for the money that is yours, you will have to go to the box office of another neighborhood. There you will meet the neighbors of the three neighborhoods, who have also closed the window. Or worse: you must withdraw a single service from the village and go to the neighbouring town. Stand in line, wait longer than ever, look at those in front and behind and you will understand that you are thinking the same thing: "This is what is there."

You look back at the news and you see the president of the bank where you are a client. He says it's "unfair" to levy a special tax on the big profits that the economy works on "thank you." On the other hand, the government that defines itself as progressive has called for "social responsibility" for banks and big business, and we have heard the same thing in the tertulias of the big media: that you cannot make mortgages from another orbit pay and get rich with them, which is not exemplary.

You can stay on the red street because your tenant is a banker who speculates like a vulture; your banker will continue to send weapons to any war to dirty yourself with the blood of the plain people; and, at the same time, the friendly banker will leave you with oil and buy an electric car, because it favors the environment. Or encourage them to buy a home, even if they then ask for credit and make choices a thousand times more difficult. You'll have to convince with the payrolls of recent years. Then, yes, it is your responsibility to pay. But what he sends out is the Euribor index: if you have a mortgage of 150,000 euros, he has hit you a lottery to pay 300 euros more a month. However, the large hose, as nowhere can be found houses of this price.
