The cold has come
Aritz Díez 2022ko abenduaren 13a

The cold has come and it is increasingly difficult to cope with it. We citizens have been trapped in our maze and we are told that consumption will not skyrocket so as not to put heating to more than nineteen degrees. I do not want to look at whether it is enough or not, but I find it strange to say that the sellers of a product do not consume that product.

The cold has come and on a city floor, apart from gas or electricity, we have no other way of producing heat. Historically, fire has warmed houses, but in recent decades (this century) the fire has not been welcomed into cities.

When I bought the house I completely renovated it. It is a building over a hundred years old and the floor had a fire cooker and fireplace in the living room. We took everything off. Everything that could generate the fire had to be discarded and instead welcomed into induction. But induction doesn't warm up the environment.

The cold is ripening because they cut off the heat source and they are worth it. The comfort they sold us, but what a few crazy people once said, the first reflexes that show that this model was not sustainable, is true. This comfortable model had an expiration date and we are seeing that the benefits that the source brought were not ours. They cannot hide us any more.

Will the cold come to capitalism?
