City mayor pretends to be HOMELESS to check how OFFICIALS work! They told him everything was GOOD
There’s a children’s tale about a king who pretended to be an ordinary peasant in order to check on his subjects. Unfortunately, the story took an unexpected turn, but that prompted the king to act in the most decisive way and make changes.
It’s just a fairy tale, but it defines our present-day reality. Today I will tell you a story that teaches us that problems should always be solved from within. Politicians shouldn’t act for the camera or recognition, but should rather aim at achieving results.
