@Sr_Donze Si. Yo llevaba años sin ver esa basura (salvo los partidos) y, aunque no me esperaba nada bueno, me he quedado sorprendido de como se ha normalizado que una televisión pública se haya convertido en un panfleto inmundo en el que todo es propaganda progre tercermundista casposa.

Leftists have no grasp on any of the disciplines necessary for governance and leadership.

They think economics are a myth.

They either don't know history, or they ignore it. I'm not sure which is worse.

Their ideas about human nature are... fanciful, at best.

The best Leftist ideas are just failed socialist policies of the past, or a doubling-down on currently failing policies.

Here is another "funny" story about the Spanish 🇪🇸 administration

I used to do paddle surf on a lake near my house

Picture it. I had my inflatable board, and spent a lot of my summer mornings enjoying the nature and still water, with no one around

It was one of the best parts of my year

Then... the government decided you needed a license to do that

Sigh

Fine. I didn't want any trouble, and as stupid as I thought that was, I applied for the license

It cost money and took a year to process. One full year to get a piece of paper that says I am allowed to stand on a floating board

But any way... I got it. And I went back to the lake

Then I found out that each license is only valid for one specific body of water

I had three lakes near my house... so I needed three licenses

Oh man

So I applied for three licenses, paid three times, and waited again. That summer I was only able to enjoy paddle surf in one of the lakes, but it was something

Eventually I got them, so the next summer I went back to the lakes. I was finally, fully, completely legal

Then a new regulation came in. Life jackets were now mandatory

I found out about this while already on the water

Three guards in a motorboat came after me at full speed. They told me I had to leave immediately. They threatened to detain me if I did not get out of the water right now

I paddled back to shore

❌ No warning
❌ No grace period
❌ No letter
❌ No email

One day it was fine, the next day three men in a boat were chasing me across a lake because I did not have a vest on

THAT WAS ONE OF THE DAYS I DECIDED TO LEAVE SPAIN FOR GOOD

First one license. Then three licenses. Then a year of waiting. And in the end, three guys in a motorboat treating me like a criminal for doing paddle surf on a Tuesday morning

I now live somewhere else. No paddle surfing here, but I do wake surf in the river. And no one has chased me yet

Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100.

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay £1.

The sixth would pay £3.

The seventh would pay £7.

The eighth would pay £12.

The ninth would pay £18.

And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.　

So, that’s what they decided to do.

The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem.

“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20.”

Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.

So the first four men were unaffected.

They would still drink for free but what about the other six men?

The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33, but if they subtracted that from everybody’s share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.　

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage.

They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a 100% saving).

The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving).

The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving).

The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving).

The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving).

And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).　

Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.　

But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got £1 out of the £20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!“　

“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a £1 too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”　

“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”　

“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.　

The next week the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him.

But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important – they didn’t have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill!　

And that’s how it works.

Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.　

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.

For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

@marcvidal ¿Y no sería mejor eliminar por completo el 100% del narcotráfico legalizando todas las drogas y acabando de raíz con ello?

Se acabaría el narcotráfico, las drogas serían de mejor calidad con sus respectivas pruebas de calidad, se pagarían impuestos por ellas y todo sería mejor

This week it will be five years since I was dragged by four cops off an empty, taxpayer-funded public beach for exercising my right to breathe fresh air. I was arrested, booked, and spent the night in the same filthy jail that the state's attorney released felons from for their "safety" during covid. My charges carried TWO YEARS in jail (had I been convicted). I will never forget what they did in the name of "public health".
