Italy thread 2022


Recommended Posts

 

 

Thanks for the kind words, Sage...We have always been full of problems and incapable of finding the right  ( meaning fit) political / lay people to guide this country.....Bitter but true....

 

Plus ( which doesn't help) there's this inborn state of mind tendency (esp among the politicians) who want to argue all the time and never trying to reach some sort of deal  ( beneficial to the people)

 

 

Plus...We're No.1 in screwing things up most of the time...I know...I'm from here

Giorgia Meloni may be no fascist. But she evokes grim memories of Italy’s past

 

An election win for her Brothers of Italy would be a threat to democracy across Europe

Not just Italy's lake drying up, problems in the west USA from over use and waste. Gotta have that swimming pool and green lawns as the water runs down the street.

A portent of things to come world-wide.

The waters from the sea will dry up,
And the river will be parched and dry.
