Se apuntaló el problema y se sacrificó una generación más.¿Y me tengo que creer que ahora será distinto, aún cuando es un ataque DIRECTO pergeñado por los mismos? Que no hombre. Que yo me dedico a esto.Van a por lo que queda del pastel.En cualquier caso, dado que este problema es genuinamente europeo y está relacionado con ser un vireynato norteamericano, simplemente sin ir a la guerra con el que era nuestro mejor socio hasta hace 12 meses ya tendríamos media papeleta resuelta. Una papeleta que no se quiere resolver.NO - SE - QUIERE - RESOLVERRepito que el brutal esfuerzo legislativo actual ni siquiera toca tangencialmente el origen del problema, al contrario, lo potencia. Y lo que es peor, si mezclamos las ganas de no resolverlo (porque restaría votos), con los obligados planes quinquenales centralizados pseudocomunistas, orientados a tener a la mayoría democrática contenta, feliz y con su subidita del 8%, vamos a acabar doblemente jodidos.
Aunque el tema Covid ya va decayendo, uno de los últimos coletazos que quería comentar por aquí:El Gobierno retira la mascarilla después de que la Justicia pidiera justificar por qué la mantieneNo quiero dar mucho micrófono a Liberum, son negacionistas conocidos. Han hecho de todo, propaganda contra las vacunas, recusar jueces... Pero también habría que preguntarse por qué nadie más reclamó lo que han conseguido ahora. Si desde julio la UE recomendó eliminar las mascarillas en el transporte público, ¿por qué aquí hemos seguido?El gobierno se escudaba en el dictamen de "los expertos" sin aclarar quiénes eran ni en qué se basaban. La justicia aceptó la demanda, el 8 de febrero es el día límite para que el gobierno presente esa información... y casualidad o no la mascarilla se elimina el día antes.A saber qué hay detrás de esto, pero no me extrañaría que Díaz Villanueva tenga razón en esto. Las encuestas para el gobierno no van bien, y aguantar las mascarillas hasta justo antes de las elecciones tiene un rédito claro. De todos modos en el metro hace tiempo que nadie se lo toma en serio. Hasta los vigilantes de seguridad han dejado de usarlas, en los autobuses aún se hace el paripé.
Biden To End US COVID-19 Emergency Declarations on May 11Posted by msmash on Tuesday January 31, 2023 @01:40PM from the moving-on dept.President Joe Biden plans to end two national emergency declarations over the COVID-19 pandemic on May 11, which will trigger a restructuring of the federal response to the deadly coronavirus and will end most federal support for COVID-19 vaccinations, testing, and hospital care. From a report:CitarThe plan was revealed in a statement to Congress opposing House Republicans' efforts to end the emergency declarations immediately. "An abrupt end to the emergency declarations would create wide-ranging chaos and uncertainty throughout the health care system -- for states, for hospitals and doctors' offices, and, most importantly, for tens of millions of Americans," the Office of Management and Budget wrote in a Statement of Administration Policy.
