...tariffs that protected the manufacturing sector. Why prop up farmers who are bad managers or whose poor practices on unproductive land are hurting the environment? The signals drought policy sends to good farmers are certainly mixed. And how come a 50-year-old waterside worker or factory machinist is obliged to re-train or relocate to an area where there are jobs, while the yeoman farmer is a protected species...
...which the professors received the highest CUE ratings the previous year. Literature and Arts A-53, “Athens to Jerusalem,” is a prime example.

"There are track sections that are ready to be replaced, but we haven't been able to do it because there is not enough material," says Diego Trigo, a machinist and member of the Sindicato Ferroviario (Railroad Trade Union) and member of Valencia Railways' Safety Committee. "Regarding upkeep and maintenance, there is definitely a considerable lack of prevision." Other views are more drastic: "We warned the company this was going to happen," said Antonio Ayala, a machinist with 25 years...
