José know since we were kids. Life has taken us different directions and only very late afternoon we meet, take a drink, and talk about this and that. Españolitos as good on this side of the native homeland after talking football and ladies, we like to discuss the political and economic situation of the moment. So in the last almost forty years. José accompanied me on a "demo" for years. We begin with the bad manners directed by one of those powder-Maravall come -. sewage sludge We were faithful followers of anti-NATO rallies in Torrejón. We did a couple of general strikes, live with joy the blackout of the first of TVE, and enjoy the holidays as a dwarf in the party. José
yesterday reminded me a text "of these horny you happen to catch the internet" on the status of construction in Spain. The year was 2006 and is as follows:
"LETTER FROM THE FUTURE
I greet you, come from 328 years into the future. I decided to take my time machine to tell you how things go.
Fortunately
not been met so many ominous forecasts and housing bubble in Spain has continued to rise by 17% annually over the past 250 years, so we have become the richest country in the world because such a Castellana penthouse costs more than the state of California and the Imperial Palace in Tokyo together, clear that no one living in la Castellana or any other site in Madrid, because those houses are to invest and not to live.
not been met so many ominous forecasts and housing bubble in Spain has continued to rise by 17% annually over the past 250 years, so we have become the richest country in the world because such a Castellana penthouse costs more than the state of California and the Imperial Palace in Tokyo together, clear that no one living in la Castellana or any other site in Madrid, because those houses are to invest and not to live.
I, for example, work in Madrid but I bought a flat of 40 meters, the sea monkey in a village north of Burgos, the highway is just a step (The problem of payment of customs to move from one nation to another is not so bad ... you get used to the use of passport), to pay the mortgage we have joined with three other families: a notary married a college professor, a sub-inspector of finances married to a state attorney and a judge of the supreme (subcontracted through an ETT) married to an architect.
Thus allocate five salaries at the mortgage and one to live, we are thrilled with the purchase because, although at first it's costing us a little, then certainly not noticeable, and are also very excited because , since I bought a year ago has already risen 17% and last but not least the notary's wife is as good as the flip.
professionally Although it feels good (I am a deputy general director of a multinational, but also contracted through a ett) the truth is that inflation we suffer to be the richest country in the world makes us we have to tighten their belts a bit. Either way, taking advantage of working age have dropped to 14 years to see if I get to samophlange school and stick it in the ETT, a salary which helps us to secure the mortgage.
My salary is 2,000 net billets, the billet is the currency that replaced the euro when we got kicked out of the EU kicked unpresentable. The Bloom is priced at one euro cent. In the safe of the Bank of Spain and bars are not saved if no bricks, which in this country have proven to be a far safer and more profitable than gold.
After the crisis of English birth, the population has been reduced to 5 million 50 million English and Ecuadorian working pallets, which have continued to build 800,000 houses per year (the construction is already 94% of GDP) and now we play to about 20 homes per capita (almost all empty because, as I said, are homes to invest, not to live.)
90% of the land is already developed and proposes to begin to build cities at the bottom of the sea (can not live under water, so cities would be just to invest). This is what the world knows and admires as "the English miracle" and is the subject of numerous studies and doctoral theses in the field of psychiatry. Each year we are visited by thousands of scholars of the human mind throughout the world. Would not surprise me that many of these scientists to stay because the truth is that as in Spain do not live anywhere.
And that's all I can tell you what you expect; I'll see if some lizards hunt for dinner. "
José belonged for a few days to the nearly three million people are unemployed. They feel "cold" being unemployed. Who had never been in this situation. They relied on someone who gave them reason to believe that full employment was not a utopia. Uninformed and fascists who called friends that they painted a future twilight. That, in short, they feel cheated.
José tells me not see it coming. I was blind. That money flowed incessantly. I only warned. He did not hear his friend. Who just heard siren.
Jose has forty-five years, two kids and a mortgage for the next twenty years. Bastards!
