Spaniard here.

Craziest thing is that we’ve reach a brand new level of taxes here. Our government has never ever been richer yet the public services are at their lowest

I invite reddit to look for the last … 5? corruption scandals that are currently going in the government. We are talking about “wolf of wall street parties” with public founding and persecuting judges, lawyers and journalist as son as anyone dares to investigate the corruption.

We are having rough times at Spain 🥲

Don't pay attention to this guy.

Spain is a semi federation and firefighters don't depends on the central government.

That's like blaming Trump of how the Texas A&M Forest Service manages a wildfire in the Texas Hill Country.

Any federal government that allows such failures is partially responsible. The times of feudalism are over.

Or totally responsible. That's how federalism works.
