Perhaps sheep do not distinguish the quality of the shadow and go about consuming it wherever there is some, without bleating, without entering disquisitions, without stopping to think if that shadow corresponds to their social class. It was Christianity what brought sheep into the comparative imaginary of humanity. Lamb of God and all those metaphors of relative quality. It is true that, in the Judea of that time, sheep were a sign of wealth and now they are not even a sign of\u00a0wool.\u00a0\u00a0
As experts in capitalism and some poets know, what is important is invisible. Here you can’t see the electricity companies, the companies that are making a solar panel be less than a metaphorical shadow maker. Sheep also do not distinguish electricity and if they did, they would not understand why a company that produces electricity does not want solar panels to produce more electricity. It is easy to understand, you\u2019d say. But we\u00a0have to\u00a0go to the second\u00a0round.\u00a0\u00a0
We know what electricity companies want and why there are revolving doors at the entrance to their headquarters. But we do not know what they dream of. We don’t know if the\u00a0plan for the future\u00a0-what a word- is a world without switches, continuous consumption and techno music. Electricity managers will dream of dividends and heavy bills. The workers of the electricity companies dream of the past: they must have that nostalgia of when working for Fenosa meant having electricity and a\u00a0commissary.\u00a0\u00a0
One detail is missing. But consumers have no right to dream. Because being a consumer is still for the best. There are those who say that being unemployed can be an opportunity and then add the blah, blah, blah of those who were never unemployed just because they were paid for talking rubbish. Consumers don’t dream of sheep because they are counting them while trying to make up for the lack of sleep caused by the size of the bills. But it may happen that the sheep are us. And the shadow, black.\u00a0<\/p>
