Cruento de Navidad


Hace una semana me encontré con Manuel Merchán en una esquina de una página de periódico. Era un eterno inevitable, olvidado y habitual personaje navideño: el mendigo que se lleva el temporal de nieve.

Los periódicos recogieron la noticia de forma exacta a como se la envió la agencia. Siete líneas peladas: “Protección Civil recomienda llevar ropa de abrigo y un teléfono móvil con batería de recambio a los que salgan a la calle. Nada de eso tenía Manuel Marchán Álvarez, un hombre de 49 años que vivía en la indigencia, acompañado siempre de un cartón de vino, en un céntrico parque de Almendralejo (Badajoz). El lunes apareció muerto por hipotermia en una nave abandonada de su propiedad. Ayuntamientos y organizaciones trabajan para dar resguardo y un plato caliente a los sin techo. Con Manuel no dio tiempo. La ola de frío se lo llevó por delante”.

El intento de alarde literario revela que los periodistas no tenían pajorera idea de quien era el finado, por decirlo finamente. Así que ignoro el encadenamiento de fatalidades que llevaron a Manuel a convertirse en un indigente. Probablemente fuesen pequeños naufragios cotidianos, agravados por un “problema de consumo”, una palabra muy navideña que, en jerga socio-sanitaria, sirve para denominar al abuso de drogas, incluidas las que vienen en tetrabrik.

Mientras rastreaba inútilmente algún dato nuevo sobre la tragedia, me enteré de los secretos de la operación de Belén Esteban contados por su cirujano, su psicólogo y su callista, mientras una mujer saharaui intentaba desesperadamente llamar la atención sobre un problema sangrante y archivado. Pero por más que leí y releí, no fui capaz de dar con más información que el susodicho texto de agencia. Sin embrago, en la noticia hay una frase que se sale del esquema; el indigente tenía propiedades, por lo menos una, la nave donde le encontraron tieso.

No sabemos como llegó allí, pero lo cierto es que, en algún momento de su vida, Manuel había conseguido uno de los principales objetivos del patrón de la antes llamada sociedad de consumo: trabajar, ahorrar, invertir, especular, para tener un sitio donde caerse muerto.

Triste, duro, desagradable. Pero también real como la navidad misma.

The enterprise provides a single distinct [url=http://nhommuagiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]hotdeal gia re[/url] for each doing work day in every of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon features as an assurance agreement utilizing ThePoint's system: if a specific assortment of gentlemen and females indicator up for the source, then the offer you becomes provided to all if the predetermined bare minimum is not reached, no one certain receives the supply that doing work working day. This minimizes threat for shops, who can deal with the discount coupons as quantity particular special discounts as appropriately as cash flow promotion devices. Groupon can make money by retaining around 50 % the funds the customer pays for the coupon.

For circumstance in level, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be acquired by the customer for $40 by signifies of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would split up the $forty. That is, the retailer supplies a therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and will get about $20 from Groupon for it (underneath a fifty%/fifty% split). Or, if $240 benefit of residence portray providers is received by the customer for $fifty by way of Groupon, then the firm will get $twenty five and Groupon keeps $twenty 5. The purchaser receives the therapeutic massage, or the property portray providers, in these examples, from the retailer for which they originally paid out $forty (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are specified businesses to which Groupon to begin with did not supply you its companies, this kind of as taking photographs ranges and strip golf equipment nonetheless, shooting ranges have been highlighted on Groupon.

In distinction to categorized marketing, the merchant does not spend any upfront value to consider component: Groupon collects person data from inclined consumers and then contacts only these consumers, mostly by every single working day e mail, who may potentially perhaps be intrigued in a specified merchandise or help.

Groupon employs a enormous amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains showcased by email and on the web site. Groupon's marketing textual content for the 'deals' has been noticed as a contributing aspect to the acceptance of the website, that involves a distinct merge of extensive basic fact-examining and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market getting primarily composed of lady purchasers, the gives are normally targeted on the properly getting, fitness and attractiveness marketplaces.

There are probably issues with the enterprise merchandise. For illustration, a productive provide could briefly swamp a small company with way as well numerous clientele, jeopardizing a possibility that customers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be enough answer to satisfy the need. Gap, a substantial garments retailer, was capable to consider treatment of 445,000 coupons in a nationwide supply (however it seasoned server problems at a single stage), but a smaller sized organization could change out to be all of a unexpected flooded with buyers. 1 espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an increase in customers for 3 months, when it presented shut to 1,000 Groupons on the 1 working day it was equipped, in accordance to 1 specific report. In response to equal difficulties, Groupon officers state that 'deal' subscriptions have to be capped in advance to a sensible quantity.
