Hablamos mucho de la generación Z en negativo y me parece que es gente que está haciendo cosas fantásticas. Por ejemplo, desplazar al alcohol del centro de su ocio y desplazar al trabajo del centro de sus vidas, dos cosas que quemaron a generaciones anteriores. Sobre todo, lo segundo.

Durante el Gobierno de Rajoy, mientras millones de españoles migraban, estaban en paro, comían de la caridad o se suicidaban tras ser desahuciados, hubo un ministro de Hacienda, un tal Cristóbal Montoro, que aceptaba dinero de gente muy chunga a cambio de aprobarles leyes a su gusto.

La vida, cuando dura lo esperado, es lo suficientemente larga como para que todos nos enfrentemos a la soledad en un momento u otro. Y cuando no la deseas la soledad es tremendamente cruel.
¿Sabéis que la gente que está sola no lo está por gusto en la mayoría de los casos y que es muy difícil salir de ahí llegada una edad, no? ¿Sabéis que esa soledad puede generar problemas de salud mental jodidos, no? ¿Sabéis que no toda la gente sin pareja es mala gente ni está podrida, verdad?
