www.euronews.net The collapse of Spanair, Spain’s fourth biggest airline, has stranded more than 20000 people in Europe and Africa. As Spanair filed for bankruptcy after grounding its fleet on Friday, passengers tried to find alternative flights. Other airlines have stepped in to help. But for 4000 or so direct and indirect Spanair workers, long-term misery looms. They face joining the ranks of Spain’s more than five million jobless.

    Next time don’t prop up failing companies with tax payer money. Let the company fail so it can be bought by superior companies. I hope the West learns from this failed socialist experiment

    A fairly clear effect of being under the “influence” of Catholic propaganda – everything Catholic is destined for ruin – read “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” and find out for yourself why that is the case – in one sentence – anything based on a lie and thus not being in accordance with the Universal Law – as Einstein predicted – can only collapse in the long run
