It’s falling apart, isn’t it? It depends on the point of view. Fuel prices, for example, are not falling. Prices for electricity, water, food and raw materials in general are not falling, as are the number of insolvent companies. Taxes and fees do not fall. Housing prices are not falling, despite many policymakers’ keen concerns about housing. Real unemployment is not falling. The national debt is not falling. Purchasing power and productivity continue to climb to the top of the table in European countries with lower purchasing power and productivity. The stampede of professionals from the glorious National Health Service is growing steadily, as evidenced by the increasing number of patients left without care or abandoned in garages. The number of absent teachers in schools is also showing signs of increasing, as is the number of unqualified substitutes. And the percentage of Portuguese emigrating or wanting to do so is not even mentioned.

By the way, the ideal is not to talk about anything. Prof. Marcelo has already pointed out three or four hundred times that, from futsal to coach Podenci, we are “the best of the best in the world,” so there is no reason to be mistrustful. It’s very easy for us to be the best in the world: we just don’t know or pretend that we don’t know what the world is. And it is in this sport that there are many compatriots who – I repeat with me – are the best of the best. People are so isolated that, despite the fact that 99% of humanity still wear rags on their faces, they can convince themselves that in the economy they are living in paradise.

Is the tax office helping to ease the tax burden of Switzerland, America and Ireland? Yes, but then you need a hospital and they will leave you to die on the street, ”they answer, informed by SIC and Público, the best of the best. Is the local average wage lower than the Greek one-fifth and one-fifth the Swiss? Perhaps the best of the best are intervening, but in Zurich cymbalino costs seventy euros, francs or whatever – and that sucks. Is the per capita GDP of the indigenous population half that of Belgium and one third of that of Denmark? Okay, the best of the best are losing their patience, but there you want to get a bronze and a hat. The best of the best cannot be fooled. The best of the best really want to be cheated.

At best, sipping coffee by the sea and waiting for the appointment of a dermatologist, which they booked just two years ago, the best of the best manage to admit that there are some dubious issues always associated with a “pandemic crisis.” Detailed information that the crisis is endemic and calls itself socialism does not make sense in difficult conversations. Let’s not “deny”. We are not going to say that Covid came in handy for PS to complete its project of conquering the state and nationalizing society, on the one hand, because it distracted attention from current skills, on the other, because it created a scapegoat for destruction. however produced.

The truth is that any excuse serves to confusion, and any disorder serves to mask the fact that, imagine, we have descended into a hole in which there is no light or exit. Now that Covid doesn’t seem to be enough to keep the hysteria level at the level PS desires, the drama “Budget” and several related dramas have been hastily invented. At least from prof. Marcelo never sees surprises: he is usually afraid of the negligible possibility of political unrest and complications associated with his own popularity. For the rest of the characters, the comment is split.

Depending on the thinkers or dr. Costa wants the majority to win the elections, otherwise the doctor. Costa does not want an election in order not to lose control of the bazooka. Either the communist parties want the election to be supported by the electorate, or the communist parties do not want the election in order not to be defeated. Or a doctor. Ryo wants the election to try to win power, otherwise the doctor. Ryo doesn’t want the election to hold his seat as a contender for a while. And then we have a doctor. Rangel, a formidable figure who will resurrect, or not, the “space” of the “right”, which is not quite right. Even in Andy Warhol’s Dream, there was no such fascinating plot.

Jokes aside, what do I think? I think OE will pass. And surprisingly, if the OE fails, PS will outperform the legislators with a slight dip. And if PS doesn’t win at all, it won’t be Drs. Rio or Rangel are spearheading the change needed by the “right” and, above all, Portugal. And what if it’s absurd, Doctor. Rio or Rangel are showing themselves as they never were, the damage done by the left front is irreversible in the short to medium term. The country hasn’t started to crumble today.

Today, with the dust of the pandemic settling, the destruction can only be seen more clearly. Today, aside from a miracle, we are approaching the point of no return. From now on, the little that is left will crumble before us without a roar, with sighs and, given the winter, with some coughing. I believe that as the debris hits them in the head, more and more people will question the “best of the best.” But a real bath does not prevent us from staying dirty. In short, I believe that almost everything is preferable to the shameful path we have chosen and that almost nothing leads us astray.
