Winston Churchill: Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

So pervasive is the problem of scavenging that one Spanish city has resorted to installing locks on supermarket trash bins as a public health precaution.

I guess starvation isn’t as big a public health problem, YET.

I’m sure the government of Spain could simply raise taxes on the rich to pay for the basic needs of these poor souls.

But she has some new shiny windmills (that provide nothing but feel-good vibes) nearby to tilt at.

Meanwhile, also in Spain...

In Spain, while the country mulls asking for a bailout from the European Central Bank, a whole other crisis is brewing. The relatively well-off Catalonia region, which includes the commercial hub of Barcelona, has announced that it will hold snap elections and a referendum to decide whether it should break away from Spain and form a separate republic. Many Catalans resent that their region pays more taxes and receives fewer government services than other regions where the economy is less robust.

The natural result of a country spending way too much and then running low on suckers willing to lend it money.

Fortunately we still have enough suckers today.

The young woman was looking through the day’s trash for her next meal. Already, she had found a dozen aging potatoes she deemed edible and loaded them onto a luggage cart parked nearby.

Simple solution for her:

(1) Find a man who has a good job.

(2) Ask him to let you move in with him.

(3) Do whatever you need to do to make him want to keep you and feed you.

They just need to vote for more socialists and give more money to the parasites.

The true face of a “Green Economy.” Yet our leftards are still pushing the same policies here.

This crisis will impart a generational lesson. The last generational lesson was given in the late 30s to mid 40s.

Can't say they weren't warned - from nearly a century ago:

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."

You warn people over and over and over that socialists eventually run out of other people’s money... and they are still shocked when it happens

And then the socialists run away and when conserrvatives get elected and try to fix the problem, they are called heartless and blamed for it because they are cutting spending

Spain is a perfect audio-visual aid for the kind of socialist mediocrity Ubama and the rats want for America.

-——one Spanish city has resorted to installing locks on supermarket trash bins as a public health precaution.-——

That act is the very definition of a looter in the manner of Anne Rand.

The people starving to death are prevented from gleaning food from trash bins as a public health measure.

Spain did a great job of tanking their economy by burning billions on their Green/Solar Industries (but carbon based fuels are just evil)...
Same process that the Dems (and RINOs) are trying to follow here.

Spain was on a spending spree and now unfinished airports and planned communities that have never had a single person use them sit rotting down, the investors money gone forever.

Bad decisions have bad consequences.
