My new terrible water filter

- Exactly 1 year ago, I bought a super technological water filter!

- I needed it because during that period of my life, I had to work from home, obviously becouse of the pandemics. And I never had spent so much time in my house, and i realized that I needed a good and technological water filter!

- It was beautiful: brown, intelligent. I plugged it into the power and - voilà -- it starded working. It was amazing. 

- I never had a technological water filter before. I'd had a typical clay water filter, just like that one in the picture: 

- Everybody says that this is the best filter invented by human brain. And I was about to agree with that statement. 

- I was legitimately happy with my new filter. But then, it stopped working. The water was not running anymore, and I... I was devasted. That event brought a terrible trauma.  

- When I was a child, I had a vaccum. I simple one. And one day I was vacuuming my house, but I had not read the manual, then I vacuumed my sister. And never saw her again.  

Then, I threw away the new filter and bought the clay one. What can I do?

US hangover

The article we readed (read) about the US economy has a particular back ground scenary: the economic crisis that country (and the world) lived in 2007 and 2008. 

2008 was the last year George W Bush was living at the White House. He and his party, the republican party, were striving to rebourne the economic grouth from ashes, and one of the tactics they used was: I am... Sasha Pierce, 2008's Beyonce album, and economic protectionism, of course.

This is a very common conservative strategy, also used by third word countries, communism and dentists.      

Back to the article, I understood that the US was traying to convince China to reduce it's trade deficit. 

And that was a big mistake, because trade also means 'commerce' and 'traffic', which is great; 

but deficit means 'undersupply', 'slippage' and 'indebtedness', and I dont have a single ideia of what these words means. 

In summary, US was living a massive hangover after that party, the republican party, where they served a delicious but really expensive cocktail, the subprime mortgage with vodka. 

And they needed to blame some other country for all that chaos in the bathroom: China! of course.
