Another new year has just been launched on the market, with the same characteristics as other years: it arrives promptly on January 1st and is full of promises and hopes. It has the same length and width: 365×12, except for changes during the period – something that hasn't happened for hundreds of years. Comes like everyone else, with the same manufacturing defects: only one Sunday a week. Not counting most holidays, placed lightly right in the middle of the week – and no complaints are accepted. After all, it has exactly one year/12 months warranty, sometimes it feels more, sometimes less. It is a very welcoming year, with the capacity to house the entire population of the world, including the one that will be born. Its slogan for consumption is the same one that has been used successfully since the beginning: “Happy New Year”. If it doesn't work, another one is coming.
