Goofynomics

A significant fact

(… on you… )

I see you on Twitter all pervaded by sacred fury for the previous post, all animated by a new warrior spirit that within you roars, or, given the gastronomic contingency, belches, all possessed by a frenetic optimism of the will, whose outcome is the new “American, Tarzan faces!”, or: “Borghi, face them ten points!”, and all this frenzy, this enthusiasm, this overabundance of male vigor, for having reread things that you should have read dozens of times here (or at least you should having looked at them like a cow looks at a road sign, which in this case would also be sufficient, because in the end it would be a question first and foremost of understanding that the direction is wrong!), and this enthusiasm is certainly positive (maybe!) …

but…

…how come there is no one on Twitter, literally no [REDACTED] anyone, who has done the simplest and most obvious of things: using the hashtag #goofynomics when quoting the previous Goofynomics post?

If the problem is bringing people closer to awareness, then let's make the source of awareness go viral, right? Or at least let's try? Or at least let's mention it?

No, too difficult!

Instead, let's wait for Claudio, a new Tarzan, to wallow in the turmoil of Twitter with ten points (a communication module that I abhor, and he much more than me: I imagine his internal suffering in seeing that unfortunately it works! ), so of ten points in ten points in ten years we will still have to explain the divorce between the Treasury and the Bank of Italy all over again!

For heaven's sake, I understand you, I now know you better than your parents: you really need a John Keating, someone who knows how to entrust to plastic catharsis "der sensational" subversive gesture the task of making you at peace with the idea of ​​having done something: I see you there, all pretty, in shorts standing on the bench. Because in the end you don't exactly need to fight, but rather to move. And then go to bed calmly.

But it doesn't work like that. Here's Sergeant Foley, it's another film, and apparently you're not exactly Zack Mayo, which is what I really need as a cameraman (but I'd also be happy with Private the penguin). When I see such a devastating absence of #lebbasi it makes me think that we are still very far away, and that deep down we are always dealing with the usual atavistic evils: the egregious gesture, the wait for someone to do something decisive afterwards, a wait whose the ultimate goal is to free ourselves from doing something useful now: using a [REDACTED] hashtag: #goofynomics.

By the way: Happy New Year [REDACTED]!

(… did you want to fight? Welcome to the AOCS. Next time you do you're out, obviously …)
