Since the economy is booming and productivity is at the highest levels seen in decades, the Spanish government wants to reduce the work week from 40 to 37.5 hours without a reduction in pay.

Brilliant move! I can’t believe they’re the only ones doing it.

There is only one thing left to do for my fellow Spaniards: mantenerse humildes y acumular sats.

Food is a tough topic. The industry has lowered prices dramatically by reducing the quality to the point that many ingredients are unhealthy.

We need to reclaim healthy ways to produce food although I don’t think that blanket regulation like this one is the solution.

Agree, coming from a relatively rutal place where I got to enjoy real food for several decades, I think there’s a lot of room for improvement nowadays.

But this law is not coming from a place of trying to improve food quality. Quality will probably improve as a side effect but a prohibitive price for many, many people. It doesn’t need to be that way, but that’s how it looks it’ll be.
