Successful businessman, the fashionable talk show host

On the day I wash dishes, I don't dry them because I don't have the time, despite having a normal job and no family responsibilities. There are weeks when I don't read a single page and I'm not going to say anything about watching an episode of a series or an entire film. However, successful businessmen, as they are presented, are punished by time. I turn on the television and there is a successful businessman pontificating in a talk show. You would think that they have a life full of worries, calls and meetings, but I wake up listening to José Elías , I have breakfast with Marcos de Quinto and I have dinner listening to Martin Varsavsky preaching on Horizonte . They are all everywhere at the same time, not one day this week have I escaped swallowing their ultra-liberal recipes. How many days of personal business do these people have in their successful companies?

The successful businessman is now paraded around television sets to talk about the virtues of Trumpism. Varsavsky is presented as a “friend of Musk”, although being Musk’s colleague at this point should be less of a source of pride than being a buddy of Sacamantecas. The Spanish-Argentine suffers from the state of Spanish democracy while enthusiastically defending the new direction of a country that at the last meeting of the United Nations General Assembly voted with Russia and North Korea, the true champions of freedom.

Varsavsky told Ana Rosa that picking a fight with Trump “harms the Spanish people”, meaning that the best thing our government can do is wave to the bullies , shut up and applaud those who want to turn the Gaza Strip into a resort , to name just one of the absurdities of the new US administration. If you haven’t seen the video that Trump posted about his real estate plans for the area, you don’t know what disgust is.

As a Spaniard, it would hurt me if my government joined the bullies; if I could choose, I would prefer to join Jane Fonda, who after receiving the lifetime achievement award from the Hollywood Actors Guild urged her colleagues to be aware of the times in which they live , one of those historical moments in which social rights are at stake and it is necessary to take a stand, like at Stonewall or during Apartheid. “Would we be able to put up with the hoses, the batons and the dogs?” she asked herself. Some are not even able to bear the idea of ​​not being one euro richer.
