As greves exemplares...

Quando se fala em greve, lembramo-nos logo que vai ser ou numa 2ªfeira, numa 6ª feira ou no melhor dos casos num dia que dê jeito o pessoal ter mais dias seguídos de ferias. É um facto e venha quem vier! E já não falo que a greve deveria ser à moda da "greve de zelo", ou seja, no local de trabalho, pois isso para além de ser o mais realista no que concerne a um protesto, compreendo quem diga, Ah e tal, temos de ir pra baixa abanar cartazes e gritar palavras de ordem (também aceito). Querem uma greve a sério? FAÇAM-NA a meio da semana, ok?

Mas o que me leva a escrever este post, são duas greves exemplares, pois estas sim estão a fazer moça e não com o intuito de sacar um fim-de-semana prolongado. Refiro-me à greve dos Argumentista americanos que nada mais nada menos, puseram os grandes estúdios a pensar que da facto as coisas não estão bem. Mais! conseguíram o apoio de alguns notáveis da 7ª arte.

O negocio esta a florescer pois a venda de videos, audio e demais materiais pela internet, abriu novas oportunidades de negocio, pelos visto mais lucrativas que aquilo que se estava à espera. Assim sendo, tem o meu apoio, pois se se queixam da pirataria, esta atitude só revela que os piratas não são quem saca pela net, paga impostos por dvd's ou vai ao cinema, é aquele que ganha à custa do trabalho dos outros... ate porque pirataria é roubar barcos e só tem barcos quem é rico, por isso nem estou muito preocupado.

A segunda greve é a dos "lixeiros" na cidade de Nápoles. Só que não viu as imagens é que pode ficar indiferente! Para além do mais, é um problema de saúde publica que se esta a levantar e pelos vistos ninguém cede, nem máfia! nem governo/autarquia. É o mal dos monopólios!

Aprendam sindicatos com os bons exemplos lá de fora, pois mais vale uma greve a uma 4ª feira, do que várias às 2ªs e 6ªs pra não variar.

Para os viciados em séries aqui ficam algumas noticias sobre as nossas series favoritas.
