Canteen

You may wonder how could our canteen survive in a commercial society. (Well, I'm not too sure it could survive. I hope not.)

The answer is simple: The contract was decided by and signed with the hospital board - whose members never have their lunch here.

(Of course our extra-terrestrial friends may actually be very generous already. They could easily have chosen a canteen that serves only cold dishes and green salad. After all, we are donkeys and horses.)

For similar reasons, if the children of our Secretary of Education do not study in a local school, and our Secretary of Health do not have his own high blood pressure treated in the government clinic, how could you rely on systems they designed ?

Alas, don't be too critical. Once remembering Yakov Stalin was driven to commit suicide by his father, I find our senior government officials really humane and naive.
