It’s so true. I’m in a similar situation in Austria. I’m caretaker for my husband who suffers from severe Essential Tremor. He needs me for everything. We live off his pension. Now the price of everything has gone through the roof like everywhere else. Buying food is horrible and I can only get the most needed things. Which is making sure my husband is fed and my cats are fed. I cut down on my own food to almost nothing. Especially food prices are continuing to skyrocket.
Rent, heating and electricity has gone up so much as well. When the paycheque comes in, almost all of it is gone right away. Then I struggle the rest of the month.
There’s more affordable apartments outside the city, but we can’t afford to move either. (The process of moving and the deposit and having to pay rent in two places for one month plus fees for turning on electricity in the new place, which is something they came up with recently)
Anyway, the corrupt politicians are all doing what the “elite” wants in my opinion. And these politicians don’t do anything about this situation, because they want it to be this way and they want it to become much worse. All so that they can take more power and trample on our rights and freedoms and forbid them. They want us to be dependent on a tyrannical government that’s exactly the same and working together everywhere. They want to control of absolutely everything. Make things so damn horrible, that people will accept their “solutions” and be like: “We’ll give u general income, but you have to give up all your possessions and freedoms, and adhere to everything we dictate, otherwise you’ll score bad on your “social credit score” and you get your benefits cut or stopped. Of course you can only buy what is approved by us and the WHO, nothing else is available anyway (except timo us and out overlords). You’ll have to accept all jabs of course, for public health! And you can’t say anything we don’t like, otherwise you’ll punished. We will watch everything you do, as surveillance is total. You agreed to it, remember? For safety!”
They want the desperation and the want people to take their own lives. They want to completely and utterly destroy any resemblance of the life we once knew.
Sorry, for the long rant. But it’s heartbreaking to see all the desperation and have problems yourself and see just how gleeful and arrogant these governments are.
I'm so sorry that you're going through this, Natascha. Thank you for sharing.
You bring up many important points. It costs a lot of money to move. It's not as easy as people claim (especially when people's response is 'Just move!' when you express frustration over the cost of living.
And I completely agree with this: "They want us to be dependent on a tyrannical government that’s exactly the same and working together everywhere. They want to control of absolutely everything. Make things so damn horrible, that people will accept their “solutions” and be like: “We’ll give u general income, but you have to give up all your possessions and freedoms, and adhere to everything we dictate..."
There was a point where I supported universal basic income years ago, but a lot has changed since then. You can bet that basic income will come with many strings attached. Nothing is ever free for the 99%.
Wishing you the best.
(Note: I'm hoping to write more about the stories and struggles of ordinary people who have been forgotten. There's a deafening silence across all media platforms here, and I think it's important to highlight these experiences, to show that we're not alone in our struggles).
Thank you so much for your kind reply! And for letting me vent in your comments, your article he really hit right home.
You know, I was the same! I too was in favour of universal basic income quite a few years back. But like you say, things changed. And now the best thing first anyone would be too strive to become as independent and self sufficient as possible.
I've started to simply create content just out from my life with the cats. Maybe one day I can earn at least a little bit to help with food and rent. As long as the Internet exists in the way it does now.
Thank you so much for your article! I'm looking forward to read more from you!
Thank you for your kind words. It's always so refreshing to hear from likeminded people. As you will see, we write articles on a number of different issues - glad to have you here :)
I am feeling this as well. 4 incomes in the same household and we barely make it each month. Pick and choose ... Pay a bill or starve. It wasn't this way before the Plandemic. My body can't keep going but I do because I have to. I guess this is the you will own nothing and be happy thing, I don't get it!
Oof, I feel that. Feels impossible to squeak by today if you don't already have family wealth/connections, etc. I wonder if (and when) we will say 'enough is enough' and what that would look like.
