Our dear prime minister, Mr. Steps Rabbit, has made various announcements. Some amusing, some not so amusing. His standard answer to everybody: Emigrate. Principally for people with no options left in Portugal. For now it is just the unemployed and the ones risking becoming unemployed. Notably, as he so specifically mentioned, the teachers. Of course it is obvious there are or will be too many teachers. After all, Portuguese don't procreate much anymore. In fact, Portuguese are presently the worst in the world at procreation.
But why stop at the teachers? Why not ask all the troublesome to leave? Why not the criminals? They just make trouble anyway. Instead of prison - give them a one way ticket somewhere else - Siberia? And what about the retired. They have to receive pensions and they get sick a lot. Send them away too. I am sure with a bit of subterfuge you could get rid of them easily. Maybe one way - but free - cruise ships to somewhere else. All the handicapped are also mostly trouble. They need special schools, workplaces and medical treatment. They will probably be happy to leave. I don't know of any place in Europe where they would be worse off. And what about the children? They cost heaps of money and they make noise. Child birth, vaccinations (even though we have started saving on those), sickness, nurseries, kindergartens and schools. Think about all the teachers that would become redundant without children? It is an austerity wet dream. Lastly we have the young. But no problem. They have been asked to emigrate already - and boy do they ever. But permit me to suggest they be send away before university? Those universities cost heaps of money and are mostly just trouble. And do you realize where all these troublesome intellectuals come from? Some of them just have no respect towards politicians. Finally that leaves just the company owners, the company workers and the public sector. But worry not. The companies are closing, any entrepreneur, who has not gone broke yet, with an iota of common sense is looking outside of Portugal. The companies are all closing down, moving away or going broke. The workers will all become unemployed and be sent away for emigration.
That leaves the politicians and the remaining public sector employees. I don't know what they will do. Frankly, who cares about the politicians any way? Except themselves, of course.
