The prices of goods and services have gone up, way to high for the likes of me. I see unemployment moving nowhere, though at times it takes a leap to the sky; people take whatever they can, juggling livelihoods, recycling and making ends meet ~ however its quite obvious that more and more people are holding no jobs, no social security and with very little prospect of climbing out from the hell-hole of a bad economy.
It doesn’t take a smart dog to figure the steady decline of the region’s economy. More people seem to be out of jobs, into the nasty grip of poverty and redundancy. And yet Governments seem to show little interest in the working class, and our predicament. Oh hell, I mean who gives a fuck, isn’t it? Many are still delusional with their savings and their trust in the Institution. There will come a time when notes and coins will be valueless and the laws that preserve the balance will be the epitome of humanity’s hate.
Unfortunately society by then may not be ready for anything, much less to live their lives without the corporate rat race.
