It's four days before Christmas, and the commercials on television are annoyingly interrupted with exasperating frequency by clips from movies and TV shows.
Isn't it nice to know that so many care about our well-being: isn't it heartwarming?
Phone companies offering unlimited gigas so that we can stay in touch with everyone we've tried to avoid in other years and that we can avoid this year without making excuses.
Loan companies offering unmissable opportunities to spend money that we will struggle to pay back.
And banks that wish us well because they really want us to be well and not so that the embezzlement allowed by the government can continue undisturbed?
And what about those who build cars? Isn't it great to know that they are working hard to offer us an electric car that costs much more than the others and that allows us to travel well up to 70 km before being recharged, perhaps by borrowing a socket in some remote cottage.
They want us to breathe clean air!
How bad the Swiss must have been when they discovered that to electrify i [/i]all the cars in the country, the power stations currently in operation would not be sufficient and more would have to be built...
But the important thing is not to pollute in the city because pollution outside the city boundaries is not real pollution.
I am proud to be part of this society!
I am not, however, proud of my shave: it was as usual and we get used to good things and tend to underestimate them.

How very wise observations looking through my favorite window on social media.
To the point of electric cars, at least here in California they are priced like any other utility car. Of course, if every one drove one the grid wouldn’t hold and, most likely seeing how flimsy it is, California would burn to the ground.
I couldn’t resonate with you more on how annoying it gets to watch commercials so rudely interrupted by movie clips. Here, seeing how miraculous some medicine advances are, get trimmed off by some crappy movie clip is close to being very rude.

It's the same all over the world, it seems...
Electric cars here are 10% (at least) dearer than conventional ones.
What drives me crazy is they brag about high mileage: in the 30's there were electric cars, not as fancy as the actual anes, that could take you for around 200 mls at 50 mph: great for an utility car even nowadays.
They push these as high techological innovationa, when they are simply recycling something.
When they started selling cars with what they call here 'adaptive lights' meaning they turn with the front wheels as the 8th wonder: they forgot that Citroen Pallas had them half a century ago!
Of course they are not the same: the actual ones are far more expensive! 😃
They make cars that can go from 0 to 65 mph in less than 5 seconds: you can't do without it, especially when you're jammed up in the traffic.
Luckily these car can speed up to 250 km/h when the speed limit is 130!
And, even without any legal limit, where the heck can you drive that fast with all the jerks driving and texting contemporarlily?
Sooner or later they'll try to sell 18 wheeler trucks to go food shopping: imagine how much more one can buy!
I am fed up of being in the lowest step of the money supplying chain!
Do you know they are looping Little House on the Prairie, Columbo, and masterpieces like those.
And newer series, are sent (same episodes!) for 3, 4 days in a row?
Probably our IQ is such they want to make sure we understood what we watched... (I expect they want to submit us to tests to check it!)
People cannot write without making errors in spelling and syntax being used to text lingo, journalists and politicians talk in a gruesome way: if they did in school they'd be kicked out of it!
And Woody Allen was right when he said there are no more problems with garbage: they make TV programs out of it!
O tempora, o mores!
Romans built (by hands) roads and aqueducts that are still working and now, to build a house it takes ages and that are obsolete when they are finished!
Sorry for the outlet: it's Xmas, we must be patient and good to each other so, when it'll be over, we'll be free to hate each other again for the rest of the year! 😃
