It has been 6 years since the tragedy at Colectiv. 6 years in which nothing has been done. 6 years in which the politicians of this country stepped on the very last trace of humanity, of common sense. 6 years’ worth of promises, 6 years in which we haven’t found the culprits, 6 years in which no burn centre has been built. On the contrary, we now have hospitals that burn patients. During the last year 24 people died in fires that started in this county’s hospitals. 24.

The Americans want Ciucă as prime minister. After Cîțu failed, they are sure Nicușor truly is their winning card. As they are not interested in the success of any Romanian governance, they don’t care about our country. It is essential that the Government is led by an individual that pays the tribute in due time. We steal from each other playing shell games, they do it elegantly, playing poker. Sometimes, out of boredom, we also play roulette, the Russian one.

A permanent state of restlessness and uncertainty. A president that has been expressing his disgust towards the Constitution more and more often. A political class totally disconnected from the people they are supposed to serve. A group of “specialists” that have subdued Romania by abusive interpretations of the law. A mass media for which the Apocalypse remains the only editorial policy. A people increasingly surprised that it exists. In a nutshell: Romania.

Great achievements, amazing actions, everything seems to be heading in the right direction. But bad people (foreign agencies?) want to prove otherwise. And thus decency is shamelessly murdered by a political class. We are going through rough times (pandemic, financial crises that reoccur more often than El Nino) but the leaders want to feel loved because they deliver a heroic death in hospitals to their people. Today, about Florin Cîțu and his press conference on October 16th 2021.

Usually, when you bury your dead, you think about what that person represented. What good things they gave you. You try to build them a positive image. That’s what I want to do with “the late” mister Cîțu. But I can hardly think of something good. Maybe the NRRP, which has been approved recently… but then immediately come to mind the European fund consultants that say they will do something else because they have nothing to… consult.

A politician that tells the truth is totally unprepared for a consistent rise to the rarefied air of power. If he doesn’t change his orientations like Iohannis, or doesn’t lie like Ciucă, he would better look for another career. Politics is for those who yesterday forget what they say tomorrow, but fanatically worship Brutus. Politics is for those who see in Cîțu and Ciolacu individuals insipid enough to represent the essence of a party, and in Kelemen Hunor Romania’s cultural lighthouse.

This text is envious and directly related to intelligence. The famous IQ. In Romanian we read it "aichiuuu”. I believe it won’t take long for it to become how we spell it, too. I have a feeling that the smartest person on the planet was the one that invented this coefficient, the IQ. A relatively scientific study, under the umbrella of amazing marketing strategies, ended up a reference all over the world. A few people know the name of the “inventor”: German psychologist William Stern, in 1912.

I’m noticing that many people are rushing to label what is now happening in Afghanistan as being “the worst defeat since the Vietnam war”. From my point of view, this is exactly where the mistake lies. Shortly, here are a few of the matters that to me seem worthy of a debate by experts in the field. Obviously, in such a situation, questions raise other questions and too little answers.
