The last train to prosperity – News and Protagonists

In the 1989 presidential campaign, Adolfo Angeloz promised a red pencil for state spending and clinging to the railing of the last train to prosperity. He was doing it in the midst of the economic chaos prior to the hyperinflation that broke out later that year. Once again, as on groundhog day, the country is stinging due to high thermal marks, and digestive irrationality.

The passage through Mar del Plata of Patricia Bullrich accompanied by Javier Iguacel, the mayor of Capitán Sarmiento, led to the fact that, in a campaign act —yes, a campaign—, they both ended up meeting in a rostrum with the local mayor, William Montenegro. Iguacel's positions on offshore seismic exploration, reported to this medium on January 6 and repeated in the meeting held at the La Normandina complex before other local media, forced Montenegro to have to justify his position.

Euphoric, one of his officials —and passionate admirer— tells me "now it's warming up, you'll see when I raise the tone." There were no fireworks. Yes, a fiery speech with a lot of "but ME". Iguacel was forced to respond in turn and provided clear and precise information about what is going to happen 300 km from the Mar del Plata coast. Because, oil prospecting, there will be.

It is an unnecessary position to quote oneself on behalf of the people of Mar del Plata, and a gross miscalculation to end up on the side of the groups of environmental fanaticism and the garrula left of the city. Most of this environmentalist cotolengo, would only conform to the extinction of the human species. Of course: they make their positions public from cell phones whose plastic casing is derived from petroleum, and whose components are full of precious minerals such as gold, silver and the very pedestrian tin. Without going any further, we quote an article from the page hojaderouter.com: «Gold is used in printed circuits, which are the plates where microchips are attached. Before soldering the microchip, the plates are gold-plated, and this helps them to weld better and reduces the resistance of the plates to the passage of electric current." Everything that militant environmentalism hates is on their cell phones, on their clothes made of polymer fibers, in the brand shoes they love so much, etc. Instead of joining these unhealthy groups —which, by the way, apply Goebbels' rules to their fist—, one must think about the advantages that it would bring to the city to become the point of contact and supply of the production chain from the port from Mar del Plata.

It would be interesting, for example, to obtain resources to put the port in value. An investment of five or eight million dollars, which for these groups is hardware, would be a coup of enormous value. Or follow the example of Bahía Blanca, where private capital, through the Down Chemical company, built the “Down Center”, a high-performance center specializing in sports, technological and wellness projects, unique to the south of the Rio Grande. Perhaps, by acting in a different way than being on the sidewalk of the protest, the investments required by both the World Cup stadium and the large sports venues that remained in the city after the Pan-American Games will be achieved.

Maybe, it would be worth trying.
