Rights and Duties

Mr Marchionne is helping to take this country back to the '800s, his behaviour lately resembles closely that of a few dictators that are best not be spoken out loudly, he shows not the least respect for people and thinks so highly of himself as to expect to have the stature for judging people on superficial personal information rather than based on the quality of the work they produce (if anything, only THAT is what he could possibly be called upon to judge). He's workers should have no brain to express opinions, they should only have hands and legs to produce and obey, in all this, rights are absolutely out of the question. Whatever he chooses to pay you, you should devoutly be thankful for, no matter how many hours he tells you you have to work, you should devoutly be thankful for, no matter how many promises and agreements he chooses to break, you should devoutly bow your head and pretend nothing happened. Does he think to be God or what? I personally cannot suffer God for such behaviour, think about a small insignificant piece of walking flesh tossed in the Universe such as Mr Marchionne!
I would like to remind this sad gentleman and his puppet boss Mr Elkann that they are debtors to all Italians of a nice little capital our passed governments have given to FIAT, without which they would be bosses of nothing because that company would be dead and buried many years ago, so they owe people in this country a good deal of respect!
I would also like to remind them that if there are no rights there are no duties either, which in my humble opinion, could land us all in a rather nasty predicament...
Finally a thought for all my fellow workers: if each one of us would stop working for even just 1 penny less than what we are really worth, those few thousands fat arses would stop wallowing in gold on the skin and bones of billions of us (including poor children!!).

Outcry of a creative soul

I live in Italy, a country that has nurtured hundreds of artists, thinkers and makers of beauty during the centuries. In this day and age though, it seems that the political apparatus does everything it can to thwart the natural inclination of Italians towards creativity. If you want to advertise your work, or organize an exposition, sell out in the open, you obviously have to regularize your fiscal position, get a VAT number and all of that, which is fair enough, what is not fair is the amount of money you will have to pay in order to do so. We all know that art doesn't pay very well at least in the beginning, so either you have the capital to start with or you must renounce before even trying. On top of all that the burocracy is a total jungle. In this country there are more laws and categories than in the rest of the world put together, so if you do many different things at the same time there is no way of finding an etiquette for your business and you might end up paying twice for the same thing. I was actually told to give up something to make matters simpler!! What sort of thing is that to be asking from a person that lives for creativity!
I must say I am throroughly disgusted and probably I'll end up going abroad... I don't understand the people of this country any more, everyday there's a new scandal, millions are being robbed from people that barely earn enough wages to get to the end of the month, yet nobody says anything. Have a little laugh when comedians show up politicians and let it be, this seems to be the trend.
If it was up to me I would have the Germans run the country and send the Pope back to Avignon, maybe that way we could start making our way toward the future again!
Good luck to poor Italy...
