Any person fond of the kitchen will notice the sea change that exists between a recipe to use for twenty years, and any cookbook today: the time it takes to develop a recipe. And Tyler Cowen points out in his latest book, "Discover your inner economist" imminently "Castilian translation, as I have understood: the magic ingredient to get the best food on the table is the cheap labor, the only one able to devote sufficient time and care to get the best dishes to the table. If you want to take the best cuisine at a reasonable price, it's best to visit the third world.
said Arias Cañete, executive secretary of the PP economy, about a week ago that immigrants working in Spain today are not "like those wonderful that we had, that I asked for a cut, my toast with cream and butter mine blush, and me an anchovy without vinegar, and you brought it all with great efficiency "and blamed the problem on low-skilled of immigrants. Omit comments on the tone he used to lay down their musings (despite the vast literature that correlates intonations, and other cutting sociological variables reveal who it is for his message, we will discuss later) to focus on the actual comments. As anyone who engages in economics knows (and I'm afraid he is not an exception), the reduction of inequality and economic growth are always rigged up the price of labor (hence not meets the famous Marxist prophecy the iron law of wages). Today, in Spain, the workforce is much more expensive "In comparative terms of purchasing power parity, which for twenty or thirty years. Hire a qualified waiter today, it is not profitable as unprofitable make the suits and shirts in a tailor-even though they are undoubtedly better than the textile industry (paradoxically, it is profitable to produce tiny shirts quality socially evocative symbols placed in a prominent place at the price of a tailor) The worst thing is that the supposed qualifications of English waiter was no formal training as such but on practical knowledge in the daily accumulated over the years -anything outside, on the other hand, immigrants who populate today our bars, following the idea that it is the qualification and not the price of labor the condition of the drop in service quality, we can only expect a flourishing of waiters as immigrants in the light of their experience in a short period of time. Should appear telling that the average English waiter (with or without qualification) today not only distinguish immigrant waiter nothing (except, perhaps, knowledge of the language issue does not affect the long subgroup Latin American immigrants) Mr. Arias Cañete speaking of impressions, no data on hand. My impression is that the fall in the quality of hotel services is far greater in sections of higher spending in restaurants where they ask "anchovies without vinegar" or "toast with butter color" (the composition of the menu returns to be sociologically eloquent), and where the waiter is usually English and the price of the account somewhat higher. This stroke of views, unlike the Cañete, it is backed by empirical science and economics. Convinced he was right, I took a joy when I read recently, I do not remember where (it is a pity), a complaint-based economic-in the same direction, of a person who recounted how he mistreated and malnourished at a price scandal in restaurants of a rich and increasingly polarized central London. To regain the services and dedication of the hospitality of old, you have to pay exorbitant prices, and those who are unwilling, they must comply with standardized processes and the waiters are not qualified for any exemption to use. I
this rodeo because I have the impression that the hotel service in the lower reaches (where the toast is served with butter blush) never was an activity worthy of pride. The nonsense, dry and the smell of armpits were always on the agenda. Even I have the impression that American waiters, at least the first few months, are infinitely more attentive and polite. At least, until they adapt to the habits of class they deserve here in Spain and become coarse and fools (however, this end I have no clue that my experience and a supposed "spirit of the people" and not remain firm)
Ironically, it is the Popular Party who complain that immigrants are responsible for economic growth in Spain is "low quality", outsourcing some guilt that, in any case would be attributable to them, since the bulk of immigrants and the drastic change of the demographic English occurred under his rule, when immigrants came to baskets by airports, and not in boats, on tourist visas. However, this statement is doubly misleading because it posits the possibility that he had taken another type of economic growth ("quality?) Other than that which occurred under his rule. What?, Not clear. Under what conditions and to what extent the government is responsible has failed favored?, No idea: At What Cost?, Either.
This comment Arias Cañete, and many others who hope to discuss at least briefly, only have one goal: to restore pride with sentimental appeals court ethnocentric-forgiveness, values- (Touching the folkloric, so help me God!) To a low and lower middle classes who refuse to take responsibility for their own destiny. Who want to continue receiving the perks that the state had devised for the poor, despite not. That reject competition and effort as vehicles for change of their own social situation, and prefers to outsource the blame to any group that serves as a scapegoat. The gentrification of low and lower middle classes is a major problem in the civilized world, how they feel entitled to demand a privilege against third poorer than them, of course, not theirs.
is again paradoxical that the PP wants to make immigrants sign a contract to commit to respect our customs, and that when they asked for them, have forgotten the darling of liberal-conservative discourse of the last thirty years: hard work. That by which immigrants come to fight, with the blessing of successive governments, which will leave the door open and refuse to maintain a consistent policy of border-and that both these classes repatea low and lower middle too pampered by the welfare state.
not surprising therefore that Rajoy promises to eliminate taxes on those earning less than 16,000 € a year, or hold a speech economic doom, which are below those supposedly going to go wrong (and then, of course, those who begin to overrun are immigrants). The latter has been held in El Mundo that feel identified with the values \u200b\u200bof socialism cláscio , that he, not Zapatero represents. Being a politician as bland, embattled at home, and unable to excite the electorate, must appeal to the fear of voters who are not natural, but of the extreme right-scratching votes allowed to stay in armchair. No, Spain is not on today's immigration problem that justifies a speech values. Problem they have in France or the UK. And I venture to predict that, to the extent that immigration does not come from Latin America and the Islamic world, comfortable cushions the problem, which will be a social and class, not culture and values. For this problem and there are all kinds of instruments and welfare measures proven effective.
addition, it appears that the cumulative growth for the four-year mandate ends now is two points higher than the cumulative growth of the Aznar government immediately before (14.6% vs 12.7%), and the national economic slowdown ( on in 2007 grew more than one point above the EU average and see what happens in 2008) does not depend both bad economic policies (at least, no more misguided than those who carried out the Aznar government, because Rajoy, propose, not propose any) but of a difficult external environment that affects all countries in the developed world. I have not heard by the PP is not a single economic proposal anticíclca (and not populist propaganda) to justify a change of government. If yesterday was the strong economy of the PP, it seems that today are choosing populism.
If not, how it is understood that Arias Cañete, truly socialist junior Rajoy, to complain that the national health system has collapsed of immigrants? (And we dress with another comment that clears the electoral appeal directly to the Torrente sociological an Ecuadorian in their country of origin has to work nine months for a mammogram, and therefore collapse emergencies, and how many months of work should English girl pay to use, but not of the lumpen proletariat of the lower middle classes to do that herself, without the generous contribution to the coffers of the social security people that it is productive? Postscript-see) is common knowledge that public goods are inevitably doomed to overexploitation (and inefficient). The idea is old as old is the formulation of "The Tragedy of the commons "by Hardin. The Social Democrats have been aware of it, but have considered the welfare of the poorest justify the enormous expense. The true socialist, meeting a new group (number) of low-income people who need welfare state measures, and which, moreover, have become part of the national workforce under his rule, propose urgent need to expand the number of hospitals, kindergartens and schools in order to restore the legitimate sense of welfare policies (raising taxes, if necessary.) The false socialist, populist, and he will cuddle electoral hordes of pampered españolitos welfare state, who are neither poor nor lacked the opportunities to escape the fate that today they are caught, minds ethnicity (sorry, values) and the pride of a country whose renewed contributed little honor, but on the contrary, cost money in the coffers of social security and work less than their parents work (enjoying the many benefits and perks they pay others).
I thought myself a natural voter liberal-conservative party, I never had those problems. I always believed that the welfare state must be reduced as far as possible and with the caution that the situation require, to a system of anti-poverty policies for people who really need it (ironically, today, most immigrants) thanked a positive discourse of wealth creation and entrepreneurship based on the effort, merit and hard work on macroeconomic stability and structural, not an alarmist discourse and aimed at españolitos populist oversensitive and vague, who are offended by having to work closely with immigrants, or having to share the social privileges due to them being immigrants in logic. I fear that, as the PP does not change its discourse and its objectives of government, not have my vote (I'll stay home, I find no alternative to my liking) No Now for a political issue also, but by huge shame if I identify with someone other than the españolitos of "butter color." As I said Kantor J and a small exchange that we had on this subject: "Nulla sine ethica Aesthetica"
Postscript: commenting on today's statements Arias Cañete, I've fallen into something else or in emergencies, or the consultation is possible autoprescribirse a mammogram, so doctors or social security are also in garlic, conspiring against the national health system, or we can add other information more to the history of "criminal" of the Ecuadorian ... indismulada and capricious coercion to health professionals to get a mammogram.
