At some point we will have to learn to call a spade a spade if we want to put things in order. Fortunately, our language is rich enough to accurately describe some things.
What happened in Tempe is not the result of human error, it is not a simple accident, it is the result of a robbery.
Robbery at OSE. They poisoned our minds that everything is the fault of these "scroungers", these "lazy" civil servants. In the name of development, that which wants one to have only the profit of one on the backs of many, it had to be sold out. The stunt was long-running and well-played. Screw the employees when they talk about real problems, have the channels tell you that it's their fault and theirs alone, that they cause every time they go on strike and make people suffer. Let the system degrade through underfunding, turn the world against a national infrastructure and sell out in the end. Breaking a company into a thousand pieces, make the system labyrinthine, throw out an Independent Authority (we are bloated with independent authorities) and then sell out, that is, loot.
Pliaciko in Olympiaki. Build airports on the bull's horn, so that one of the MPs can go to the voters in the blink of an eye, make routes without revenue, cut routes that have profits, get other workers, because you can, and who are not to blame for anything, these workers too it was in a system laid with remula. And then talk about the "scroungers" and sell out to the one, the private person, who when he saw the dark with the pandemic and didn't get the amount of his goals, asks for more. For the Prime Minister to come back and loot our pockets and pay him with our money.
Robbery at the ports. To have one of the largest and most important ports in Europe, to have shipping and to sell out to Cosco.
Robbery in our homes. The Constitution in Article 17 says that property "is under the protection of the State" and that no one is deprived of it unless it is for public benefit. But you will be called a "bad payer", a scammer and no one will protect her in the end. Your house will be sold for little to someone who will ask for a lot and throw you out. And the worst part? The bank that will give your house to fund, with three memorandums on your backs exists, that is, from a loot in your pockets and your life. And the one who rules you, with about thirty houses and God knows how many debts in the banks, throws you some scraps of alms, tells you how to live, when the world around you loses its right, even for five hundred euro debts.
Looting in public hospitals. Nurses and doctors of the NHS are calling out, they are going on strike, and they are getting the channels to get rid of them too. Your politicians pass laws that favor private hospitals, of course, but every time the "bad moment" comes, they send everyone to the public hospital and the "haramofaides", those who go as far as resigning to find their right, are called to take the snake out of the hole, while some have been looting behind your backs for years.
Plunder at Universities. You give birth to a child and from that moment on you do your shit to raise it, to send it to tutoring schools - because the public schools are inadequate, it's as if they haven't looted there either. And you send him to study at a University that they have no desire to support, no matter if it's public, let alone private. You have been indoctrinated with the idea that teachers in public schools are also public school "scroungers", they shouldn't shout from the moment they have three months of vacation, right? He was paying more, more.
Loot in the update. Money of yours, mine, ours to be given to crazy campaigns, to sell us fairy tales of Halima system lickers. What you watch and think are informative shows, is nothing more than an open buffet of reptiles selling you the fairy tale of Greece 2.0 "leading the fourth industrial revolution". Yeah right. We didn't even see the third...
And as soon as the evil is done, all those who with their laws, with their community directives, with agreements under the carpet, have armed the hand of the one who did the looting, send condolences and cry crocodile tears. Even those who should have informed you before the bad happened apologize afterwards, but what's the point and what's left for them to do, you'll tell me, but please do me a favor...it's a poorly played work of hypocrisy.
Plunder in our thinking. Mind-sucking from morning to night for the "enemy neighbor", to put their hand deeper in their pocket, to get more frigates, more Rafales, and more defense systems with deals made under the table , but you are told that all this is necessary for the modernization and defense of the country and the pride of yours.
What do we say now, if, we say if, the evil time comes and they need to arm the hand of our children to fight...to fight for what? After so much loot, what is left to defend and be proud of? Fraport's airports, Cosco's ports and the Italian Hellenic Train's OSE? The Attiki Odos that you pay and pay in gold over and over again, and when it proves how little it is in doing its duty, they compensate you on top of that for lost profits? In this blessed and ill-fated place what is left for us when we have been robbed of everything? And who calls us to defend it? Those who have taken care of their comfortable seats and secured well-behaved children to live like parasites from the plunder they make every hour, day and time in our pockets and our lives? Those who bear the ultimate responsibility for the debauchery and depravity we live with every day? The ones who will throw it all at a station master who works in his sixties with a pad? Those who always talk about your individual responsibility, never take theirs! What's more convenient for them!
And if you complain about the above, about any of the above, the answer is the cops! They use their right hand because they want you to be afraid, they want you not to seek to find your right, because they know that there is nothing worse for them than to take to the streets and they fear it more than you should fear them!
There has to be an end to this looting. At some point we have to understand that we are a chain. That the profit of one is the bread of our neighbor. That we can't go on if we don't stand up to every looter. Because if we stoop to it, if we tolerate it, the next ones will be our children. We lost several children to a robbery. Arrives!
For this rotten, vile, corrupt looting system that even the Camorra can't overcome, only one thing fits. What Jose Saramago had said: "Let everything be privatized, let the sea and the sky be privatized, let the water and the air be privatized, let Justice and the Law be privatized, let the passing cloud be privatized, let the dream be privatized, especially in the case that it takes place during the day and with eyes open. And as the crown of all privatisations, privatize the States, finally hand over our own exploitation to private sector companies with international competition. Because that's exactly where the world's salvation lies... And once you've gone to the trouble, you end up privatizing the FUCKING MOTHER WHO BIRTH YOU!"
