How a Nation Self-destructs
Nations are made up of people. Nations are only as strong as the bonds between the people. Strong social bonds, strong nation; weak social bonds, weak nation. Social bonds have many elements; the most important element is how much people care about each other. If people do not care about each other, if they have a “screw you, I got mine” attitude and are not willing to help others in need, then a nation is ready to topple at the first sign of significant stress. If people have a strong social bond, they will work together during difficult times and solve all problems.

Hoffen auf den Wandel
(19.Dezember) “Wir werden die große Überraschung am Wahlabend sein”, sagt Mas mit einem zufriedenen Lächeln. Einmal mehr checkt sie die Lebensmittelpreise aus Andorra. Die sozialistische PSOE wird wegen der Parteifarbe von der Erdbeere symbolisiert, die Ciudadanos von einer Orange, der Wasserpreis steht für die Werte der regierenden PP.

Allerdings wird Wasser trotz starken Preisverfall immer noch mit knapp 26 Euro am teuersten gehandelt. Die Orangen kosten nur noch 16 Euro.
