Four months after the closing of the lists, those who prefer the usual try to maintain the center of the scene and it seems difficult to establish other strategies

You have the opportunity to travel for vacations on your preferred airline. You saved a long time and you were able to put together the pesos to finance that pleasure. Of course, so as not to consume all the budget in the return ticket, you travel in economy.
You will arrive at the same place and at the same time as those who paid business or first, although with less space and some restrictions. At the time of dinner or lunch, while those who live in the front part of the plane receive a menu with different options, for you, who lives behind the curtain of comforts, the choice is considerably reduced.
With their usual courtesy, the cabin crew simply proposes: pasta or chicken? That’s all there is to choose from. Argentines have been traveling for years, politically speaking, on an aircraft exclusively for economy class. The famous crack is nothing more than the simplification of the electoral gastronomy offer to two proposals.
That is the diet of the last years. So even if you’re tired of the repetition, you end up with plastic cutlery dealing with the ravioli or the brisket. At least the last two trips (2015 and 2019 seasons) were in those conditions. And now? Is there the possibility of thinking of any variant even within the same airline? Will there be a different company that offers an alternative service at affordable prices? For now, the first answer is that for a low cost country what is easy, fast and cheap prevails: eternal chicken or pasta.
Elections 2023: time for definitions
At least in the claim of some of the chefs. Four months after the closing of the list and facing the PASOThose who prefer the usual try to keep the center of the scene. They are more histrionic and the simplicity of their message helps them in marketing. There’s not much to explain. They have found a way to suggest many passengers with the argument that there is a strict and unique relationship between the catering service and the chances of arriving healthy at destination. Although the dilemma does not seem sensible, it seems plausible to a few. Or convenient.
In these conditions it seems very difficult to establish other strategies, discarded immediately by tibias. Those who try to explain that there are ways to improve the flying experience sound very technical and require more time to explain than many viewers are willing to allow.

The same attention cannot be devoted to #Big Brother (22 rating points) than explanations of government programs and plans. At the end of the day the rift and disputes are fun. Arguments, shouting, accusations, offenses and reconciliations make the political hawks more akin to the misadventures of Alfa and Romina.
There are the “experts” to ensure that content loaded with narrative drama can do more than analyzes and arguments. Of course, judging by the results of the last administrations One might wonder about the true role of the leaders.
In search of expert pilots and the best technical conditions
Is it just about attracting attention, generating controversy and controversies and channeling the surrounding anger? In any case: what is left for the day after the vote when the winning electoral coalition becomes government and sensationalism loses prominence in the face of the need for effectiveness? It is not the intention of this column to make an apology for boredom.
I belong to a generation that saw a president consecrated under publicity that exalted a negative attribute: “They say I’m boring.” And it was, as well as ineffective. Perhaps it is precisely about removing the discussion from the “funny-boring” axis because politics refers to power, the ability to manage conflicts and coexist combining diverse interests. That a campaign appeals to emotions is completely understandable; It happens in all the democracies of the world.
What is less assimilable is the alienation of the election mode with the reasons and the sustainability of the measures that must be adopted in case of winning. In some areas it is often celebrated as an ingenious sentence that “a government is what happens between two elections.”
The nice cynicism of the phrase is not enough to hide the fact that this concept has ungenerous consequences for those who cast their vote of confidence at the polls. About to embark for the presidential It is good to remember that before flying, in addition to the quality of service on board, we all want to have expert pilots and the best technical conditions of the aircraft to reach the destination safely, trying to avoid turbulence as much as possible. It is very unpleasant to spend most of the time with the seat belts adjusted.
