Es curioso como va la moda. Las nuevas élites que quieren estar a la ultima están haciendo lo mismo que los rudos obreros de la construcción de Nueva York o los emigrantes mejicanos han hecho durante toda la vida: comer en un food truck.
Durante décadas los camiones de comida ambulante sirvieron como avituallamiento para obreros de la construccion o de fabricas que no llevaban su comida hecha por una diligente ama de casa. Eran lugares baratos donde adquirir un bocadillo o una hamburguesa rapida y volver al trabajo.
Pero ahora los modelnnos que dirian los geniales Martes y Trece, tienen una nueva moda, el food truck con comida elaborada, algo asi como una mezcla de Ferran Adria y Sancho Gracia en la misma persona. Por un precio no demasiado económico, en vez del bocadillo o hamburguesa cutre, los modelnnos pueden disponer de una gran variedad de comidas.
Incluso el canal de television Food Network dedica un programa especial, estilo reality para ver quien gana uno de estos camiones. Los concursantes superan diversas pruebas y el que menos recaude en cada fin de semana, es eliminado.
Nada mas lejos de mi que criticar el espíritu empresarial de algunos chefs. Tampoco critico la bohemia o la rebeldía controlada de los outsiders de la cocina. Ni siquiera critico a los guays que se apuntan a todas las modas. Siempre los ha habido y siempre los habrá.
Lo que si tengo claro, especialmente en un verano tejano, que no voy a pagar diez dolares por comer en la calle con cubiertos de plastico y servido en un carton (dejo las disquisiciones ecologicas para quien quiera). Para eso por el mismo precio e incluyendo la propina, puedo tener una magnifica hamburguesa o sandwich en Chili's. Sin olvidar el aire acondicionado, que en EEUU es necesario si vives de Fargo para abajo.
Personalmente creo que los food trucks son una moda pasajera. Al final solo quedaran los de siempre: los que sirven a los empleados de la construcción por un módico precio.

High Paid Teachers
Are you sick of those high paid teachers?!
I, for one, am sick and tired of those high paid teachers. Their hefty
salaries are driving up taxes, and they only work nine or ten months a
year!
It's time we put things in perspective and pay them for what they
do...baby-sit! We can get that for less than minimum wage.
That's right...I would give them $3.00 an hour and only the hours they
worked, not any of that silly planning time.
That would be $15 a day.
Each parent should pay $15 a day for these teachers to baby-sit their
children. Now, how many students do they teach in a day? Maybe 25.
Then that's 15 X 25 = $375 a day.
But remember they only work 180 days a year!
I'm not going to pay them for any vacations. Let's see...that's 375 x180 =
$67,500
(Hold on, my calculator must need batteries!)
What about those special teachers or the ones with master's degrees?
Well, we could pay them minimum wage just to be fair. Let's round it off
to $6.00 an hour. That would be $6 times 5 hours times 25 children times
180 days = $135,000.00 per year.
Wait a minute; there is something wrong here!!!
