Country for Old Men Little reminder about the situation that will explode in Spain in fewer time than some people think: pensions, education issues, etc.

I was talking with some friends in a pub when they asked me how I saw the future. My answer: ‘Tough’. In fact, today (July 31st, 2016), I read few headers in the eldiario.es (Spanish) journal, and it made me reaffirm my thoughts. Here we can see various links (in Spanish), such as: Almost 60% of …
