The boys of the band, of the band of potentates, are looking for a way to escape the planet. They are not the only ones, some of us also give the idea a whirl, although only they can afford it. And neither are all the rich, within whose small group there are categories: millionaires, multi-millionaires, billionaires, ultra-billionaires and trillionaires. Only the latter will be guaranteed a seat on the rocket that will take them to Mars, where they will be conveniently extinguished because there is only one boulder there. At the moment.
The week that has convinced many tweeters and others who do not express themselves on the networks of the desirability of climbing the sidereal path began at the weekend with the words of Yolanda Díaz about the plans of the "immensely rich" to run away from a planet that "goes away in horrors", that is, ours.
Let's correct the vice-president: they are not "immensely rich", they are soooo much more than that. And what is normal is that, seeing how we are all doing it together, everyone puts their grain according to their possibilities, the normal thing, we say, is that they try to find a life preserver. They could also try to fix it, but it's less funny.
With the speed of that spaceship to which none of us present will board, Yolanda Díaz became an absolute trend, and if it did not stay there it is because the debate reached Congress and because we all know that at Elon Musk's rockets explode. A lot of jokes on the networks, a lot of jokes, even in the parliamentary session that when closing these lines will not make Feijóo president, and a lot of memes. relentless Some are very hard work and even funny, we will not offer a selection, if you look for them you will find them. It's a shame that so much creativity is not dedicated, for example, to finding solutions to "not go to hell".
The thesis of the scared mega-rich is not new, although the recent publication of Douglas Rushkoff's book has brought it to the fore: it has been talked about since the Cold War and bunkers have been marketed even to the middle class. Well, when there were still some. It is also not new that there is talk of this possible escape, in the sky or in New Zealand. And it is also nothing new that we stay with the anecdote and the meme and do not get to the bottom of the matter: what can still be done.
Maybe in a few years the hashtag
