Barcelona, The Dark Side

Some things never change, the gap between rich and poor keeps growing and the future is not very promising, considering that AI, automation and digitalization imposed by the so called Industrial Revolution 4.0 will redefine works and will deteriorate the situation even further unless governments make a better distribution of the benefit obtained with such amazing technology. Less capitalism, less monopolies and more control of our success in the search for knowledge, let's do it for the sake of mankind.

Begging in the Streets of Barcelona

Beggar in Barcelona

Not everything is beautiful architecture, and hedonism in Barcelona. Maybe you looked the other way and you pretended not to see it but the problem is there and always comes back like a boomerang. We had precariousness before and we will have more and more every time.

Democracy is a great idea but capitalism is not democracy. The power of the people does not have to be concentrated in the hands of a few, a few that wouldn't care less about precariousness. Yes, we have parliament, we have a voting system, we approve or disapprove, we raise or lower the thumb but too often we are just the mob in the coliseum. There are still too many emperors out there pulling the strings in the dark, feeding the lions with slaves, the needed people.

Hope Along the Way

Just a little hope awaits on every corner, but too often expectations are not met. Taken from the hip on Rambla de Catalunya, Barcelona.
