Very slow news day. Hospital is seriously just back to normal. Everything is seriously just back to normal except with a lot more masks, chunks of our economy cut off and a lot more staying home because it's still not legal to come out. Politics seem to be relaxing again, mostly because they're busy trying to reactivate the country. I do have to apreciate that narrative aside the PP has joined the rest and is being actively helpful now. They're assholes but at least they don't get in the way. Before we had some cases of their narrative trying to spin "opening is lethal" shit on mom groups and shit but it seems when it comes to the economy their capitalism overtakes their opposition narrative and they do want to get this shit going fast. Props. They're slightly less awful than I thought. Vox is still being actively awful but at this point literally no one listens to them. It's like if alex jones was given a seat in congress. Sure you know he'll be an ass but who cares. As opposed to the american democrats, who are being asses and everyone cares, because they actually hurt.
Overall. Memes are nice. I have a lot to study. Hospital is ok. Morale is high enough. And deescalation is going way more smoothly than we thought. It will be fun. Also birds are still on heat over here. Which is nice. Some, specially from madrid, are worrying about how traffic will be handled once we reopen, and calling for more use of trains and public transport, because of the whole air contamination situation. And honestly madrid's atmosphere was absolutely dreadfull so I support them, but I don't know where they expect us to get the money for that. I do genuinely hope we see some small biz take care of that, they tend to be quick to pop up when stuff like this enters public consciousness. People also calling for stickers for national product and ensuring it isn't mixed with foreign product. Partially because of the nationalist bent occuring, partially because of the economy and partially because having tasted local product since the frontier closed they noticed what those of us who lived near producers noticed, that being that I have no fucking clue what south africans and moroccans do to their food. But holy fuck is national product so much better. Specially honey, citrus and oliveol. Just. Fuck me sideways that's a change. Best guess for the oil and honey is they gotta be mixing it with some kinda garbage. Either way fuck that. Makes me think of the god damned poisoned austrian wine fiasco DTRH talked about. (Or cristal head vodka commercials), only I'm guessing it can't be toxic if the alarms aren't blaring. But either way it doesn't taste nearly as nice.

Why seniors though. If it is poverty, they should just do it for poor people. And if it is to keep them home. Then they should make a program to carry it home instead of that shit. What even is the rationale here?
