A lot of people sleep on the street. We're talking about people who take advantage of a more or less sheltered corner, away from public view, but also those who extend the mattress they've kept "stored" all day between two dumpsters or on a lamppost directly onto the sidewalk and sleep out in the open.

In Santa Anna, a precise social thermometer, they've been talking lately about the influx of people fleeing the violence of criminal gangs in their country. Arrels was founded almost forty years ago, and they're not finishing the job. In the schools of Raval, there have been cases where when they've asked for the address of a newly enrolled child, they've been told they don't have an address because the whole family lives under a porch. I'm talking about Barcelona because that's what I see every night and every morning, but the problem is widespread in many cities across the country and around the world, despite public and private efforts.

Let's say hybrid warfare either world war in piecesBut the victims of all these seemingly distant conflicts are already sleeping under the covers, so they're far from remote. And those in power still have the nerve to want to cut social spending to spend 5% of GDP on weapons. Why do they want to? To continue filling the streets with victims?
