Speaking on a talk show broadcast on Rai 1 on November 19, 2020 the Minister for Youth Policies and Sport, Vincenzo Spadafora, said that the closure of dance schools, gyms, cinemas, theatres and museums will be extended until further notice due to the seriousness of the epidemiological situation. He said also that “A difficult period awaits us, but we will be present to help all those who must stay closed up”. Yeah, right, but do not kid yourself — this only means that he and his fellow government members will profusely pour public money on government-backed big sports agencies. And you are not one of them. Thus you know you will fade like a dying swan. In fact, they are likely to have other priorities that they consider more important than your daily useless life. There’s nothing personal about it — they just find that it is more remunerative to sell pay-per-view soccer games than to buy a ticket for the very stage of the Swan Lake. And maybe it’s better so. It’s a good thing not to sit next to certain persons.
