The cold frog problem.

Santanche's complaints about the fact that a poor billionaire is no longer able to find slaves for his pyramid are not isolated: there is more or less all over the world a trend of "restarters" who are unable to "restart ”Because they no longer find the same slaves as before waiting for them.

This problem is not entirely unknown. It's the cold frog problem.

If you take a frog and throw it into very hot water, it will start jumping desperately, resulting in an empty pot and kitchen to clean up. And taking her back once she has escaped will be almost impossible: she knows you want to throw her into boiling water. Likewise, if you take the average black man and offer him a job inside a cotton plantation in Louisiana, including room and board, with no vacation and one free BDSM session a day, he'll probably understand that it's not a good one. idea.

But now let's take the same frog, put it in pleasantly warm water, and then heat it slowly. It will happen that at each more degree the frog will adapt, and slowly it will find itself suffering in boiling water without even wondering how it got into that pot, and thinking that after all that has always been the temperature of the 'water.

And that's what happened in the West: working conditions have only worsened since the 1980s. A little every year, slowly, no one noticed that slowly the working conditions worsened, that the working hours were expanding, that the offices became hellish jobs, that the factories became deadly meat mincers capable of swallowing 1100 dead. and 4000 mutilated every year, that the protections diminished, that in Italy there is no longer talk of retirement.

Slowly, in 40 years, the frog found itself boiling, and it didn't even understand (and doesn't have the memory of it because in 40 years you retire) how it happened.

This, before the pandemic.

Then came COVID-19. Millions in layoffs, millions to live on subsidies, support, citizenship income.

It is as if the fire has gone out and the water has cooled. The frog has experienced two years in which the torture of the office is gone, the corporal / manager has stopped ruining your day every day, the schedules have become human again and the family has stopped being the living furniture of the house, the deaths at work have dropped, ditto the mutilated.

Many have understood that between rent, transport, clothing and eating out of the house, more than half of the salary ended up in someone else's salary, and therefore if the problem is to obtain the remaining 40% in other ways, you live anyway.

The water is cold now. The frog tasted two years of fresh water. And she liked it.

Now the "restarters" arrive and say "hey, light that fire, let's start again!" Frog of shit, suffer again in the boiling pot! ". Trouble is, they want to leave IMMEDIATELY. In a few months everything must be as before.

But on the other hand, we know that the process has to take decades to work: if you heat the water suddenly, the frog starts jumping like a desperate one, and you find yourself empty pot and dirty kitchen.

They don't have another 40 years. But they must return to the situation obtained with 40 years of slow deterioration.

This is the phenomenon that is happening to the geometers briators and to the pharaoh santanche: they don't have 40 years to scan the frog slowly. The frog is back in the comfort situation of 40 years ago, but they don't have all this time. They want to leave NOW.

Let me be clear, I do NOT think it will be a season of street riots or new Red Brigades. I simply believe that the presence of populist parties will be enough to keep citizenship income alive. Consider that citizenship income plus the Kindergeld (money to families for the mere fact that they have children, which now you should also have in Italy) now allow a family of 4 to stay there as if they "worked", or as if they were slaves of the Santanche '.

And I don't think the other party will suffer in silence. They can do two things.

• the Great Enemy. China has lent itself very well to the game of devastating civil rights: in the 40 years of water heating, it was necessary to increase the temperature of the water because "there is globalization and competition from the Chinese".

Now the Great Enemy is being built again, and the story will be that since we have to beat the enemy then you have to go back to your cotton plantation, grit your teeth and help the Fatherland win this war.

• another invasion of migrants. The story of the Italians who do not want to do certain jobs (at the price offered) and then the migrants arrive has worked well for 40 years, in which migrants have kept the cost of labor low and worsened the working conditions of Italians. (I don't discuss it, it's a fact)

So get ready for another invasion. La Santanche 'obviously will have no problem having slaves of another color, shape and size, even if Islamic (if they make money, you will see that arranged marriages will be fine for her soon), she will exploit them like beasts and then give 'also slackers to those Italians who, hear hear, have prejudices regarding the guinea fowl of the situation that treats you like shit.

The game, therefore, is not over here. We will have years of bombing the "great enemy", and I am convinced that it is easy to foresee an imminent "migratory crisis" that will fill all the places that the frog has vacated with slaves. However, things must be said as they are:

the problem they are facing is the cold frog problem.

And it's not a simple problem. So far no one has ever been able to solve it, and in the past it has caused the collapse of entire empires.
