Ugly things, pretty pictures – The spanish financial crisis

I am reluctant. Lately I feel a great appreciation for the couch. Not that I’m depressed or anything, just that I have no desire to believe in certain things

YI always have breakfast with newspaper, now I continue the adventures of Kur Wallander far beyond the Scania. Radio tires me, years ago I left aside the talk radio and TV debates. Too much screaming and stupidity, especially the latter.

I’ve never understood how someone with a modicum of dignity may be able to say think about everything. Making money, of course. Whether the issue is taxi fares in Barcelona, or the redevelopment of the Canal de Isabel II, which I do not know if there is no extension works, or if the channel l still exists or if just the name of a company. In my humble opinion, that ignorance incapable me talk about it. However that same ignorance is not the pundits or commentators for, especially if the commentator is a journalist. And if the journalist is also political, and then …. then we have a problem

I do not know when the future young journalist discovers that he and he alone is in possession of absolute truth. I think he knows from day one, but is suppressed as it can, until finally one day he meets the micro. At that time the young and not so young journalist takes full conscienca the weapon that God or TVE or T5 or sixth or whatever,has set before him. From that moment what he says ”go to church” and as if his opponent is the other side of set opposite view, because what he says will alsosacralizarse in waves, with the approval of the moderator, whose ultimate goal rendthe pundits are more or less metaphorically, so that the audience rise.

So for years, whether the subject is football, Pantoja lovesa, or Jesulín family problems. while the center of the debate is located in the nose of Belén Esteban the problem does not go higher but when the talk is about things like the famous risk premium, the rescue or no rescue or the Spanish financial crisi, Oh my friend! So beware, because here we are playing the money and that are big words.

Despite what I said at first, since Saturday, for obvious reasons, I have been tracking fairly comprehensive list of economic news, for what I have been advised by some members of my family at least, which is not enough, they understand the economic vocabulary (I have several economists in the family) and I clear my doubts.

That’s how I’ve managed to understand, as far as it goes, and as far as I can, what is happening in this country. And what is happening is not one thing but many all at once. But one of the worst, is that everyone gets trick, verbally speaking, and most have no idea. And that includes everyone from ministers to Paco the mild dealer, when about 9 am gets in the Miranda for coffee and to fix the world. More or less like me: None of them is negligible because although it may seem the Paco’s audience is reduced , in fact no one has quantified it.

I think one of the biggest problems that I sing and also the mea culpa for sure that I had, I have or will have, is the generalization.
Read: The Andalusians are lazy, cocky people of Madrid, the Catalans are stingy.Also, politicians are corrupt bankers are rascals and by extension the banks are shit.Understanding shit like CAM, Bankia and other examples, which unfortunately are many.
Everyone knows that generalizations are odious and also false. Not all Catalans arestingy or all Andalusians are lazy.
. What of the politicians I see it as more complicated. And the banks … Well, to say that all banks are shit is a lie.
Not all Spanish banks are bankrupt, because not all Spanish banks have been in the hands of madmen, ambitious, victims of their greed, their stupidity slaves. Some bankswere able to put the brakes on that reckless with which not so long ago assailed usfrom all media.

That you agree to 5% mortgages,

OK, I concede it to the 4%.

Oh yeah? grant me the 3% without collateral and gift them a TV, for fuck’s mine

There is a basic principle of the world economy

Nobody sells a dollar for 80 cents, and if he does,

he is ruined.

The problem is, when who do this is the corner grocer, the impact will affect his wife, their children, and their suppliers. But when who acts thus is a banker or more specifically the senior management of a “savings” historically contaminated by an excess of political positions, absolute ignorant of what is a bank, whose only interest is to make the bargain involved in reaching a certain political status and therefore economic status. Then the consequences impact affects everyone.

But I insist that this has not happened in the entire banking sector in Spain, and that’s important, very important, even more than that. Does the photo? Well, that ugly things, pretty pictures. Although it is a montage with photoshop.

See you
