Halting the reform

What was 20-25 years ago was Saramago put into circulation the idea that our societies are not democratic, because no one really chooses the ones they send. Politicians do, but those with real power do not stand for election. In addition to Saramago, I have no doubt that many would know so much, but the idea was powerful, to many that opened our eyes. Especially those of us who suspected something and did not put words to our suspicion. I mean, the general public. We owe so much to the Portuguese writer.

The price of kilowat is rising. It has also been clarifying that the Government has announced a number of measures to prevent the rise (including that of putting the hand in the electricity companies’ profit exchange), and the following day the electricity companies have again raised the price, calculating the loss that the government measures will cause them. It is clear who puts the price in the light. It is sent by the electricity companies thanks to a complex and incomprehensible pricing system. Governments are just secondary agents.

"Electricity companies send it through a complex and incomprehensible pricing system. Governments are just secondary agents."

A week ago, I was taught a list that runs through social or similar networks. There are a dozen slaves who have political office and who today, leaving politics, in electricity companies are not tres.Es to say, what
Saramago said 25 years ago with revealing intent, is in view of what he wants to see today.

A few years ago, a lot of millions were granted to rescue the banking system. Some economic analysts said that the State raised by means of bonds the money needed to rescue banks, the origin of which was… the hucha of pensions. That money never returned.

Today a minister comes to us to say that the pension system is deficient, and that the only solution is to work longer and to earn less pension. It has also launched a boutade to prepare the ground: that work must be done until the seventy-five years.

The minister who says so to us has held important positions in the banking system, which he will return randomly when he ceases to be a minister. It will have a salary of many zeros and, who knows, perhaps a gigantic and armored pension, as its managers (those responsible for the sinking) had when the savings banks went to the bottom. I don't think I work until I'm seventy-five.

Listen to the Basque representatives who are in Madrid: if they do not stop this reform, we will never forgive you.

Pictures of Porcelana Irabia

I had a friend who worked at Porcelana Irabia until they closed, and every time we went to a restaurant or a bar he looked at the mug and the ass of the dish to find out where the piece was made. I do the same thing when I go to the fairs of old things: I look where it is made,... [+]
