Money, Money, Money

As a mere observer who knows little on the topic, I find that the present economic crisis affect some people's head, not their pockets. Then there are those whose pockets are definitely affected, but not their heads. They still keep their cool and goes about their daily life cheerfully and complaining less. One simple fact might just be that they have less to lose. When one of the first group happens to share a few drinks or a meal with one from the second group, almost always it's the one with less in the wallet that pays the bill, or at least seems more willing to.

This can be deduced to mean that the poor is thus more indebted, contributing to the rising of indices of tardiness, while those who could make the congested money circular choose to put their money in the deposit accounts, or hidden under the bed, collaborating the worsening of catarrh or the constipated economy, of which we are all victims. Not that I understand much about how economy works, but it's simple to see some of it's complexity; when money stays put, it stays put, however much laxative one applies.

In terms of the society, if the crisis is of the right party, the left must pay for the damage, if it's provoked by the capital, the working class has to suffer the consequences; if the crisis is induced by the bad, the good has to carry it forward. Is that why I see a strange sign, huge and in brilliant red, put out by the Town Hall of Barcelona, on the middle of a busy shopping area, on which it simply say:

' Go ahead, buy something! '
