@RegularReh Think what most people fail to realise about migration in 2022 is that, a good part of it are people who had planned to migrate in 2020 and 2021 and couldn't do it cause of the pandemic.
I offended a few when I said food cost pp/pm can be around 14k. Yes it can! Here's how you from it.
1. Buy in bulk for the month
2. Use a pola or an economic center
3. Buy seasonal fruits and veges
@rebelinpurple To be very clear, I'm talking about a per person rate here. For context my groceries bill (including cleaning products etc) for last month was around 36k for 2 people. So the cost on food is much lower.
P.S. this also includes food which aren't considered essential
@rebelinpurple I feel there's a lot of misinterpretation here. If you define basic needs as FOOD ONLY this is correct. However basic needs go beyond just food for an average person!
My first insight to @ShehanKaru 's work was 'Chats with the dead' - a former version of the award winning 'Seven moons of Maali Almeida'. And based on how it was, despite me not reading the latter I can imagine why it's an award winning piece!
8/ Yet the govt. blame the people for not fulfilling responsibilities instead of doing their part and the people simply blame the govt. instead of doing their part. As a result, neither party acts, leaving the whole system stagnant.
7/ All this had led to a prisoner’s dilemma where the society as a whole had ended up in a worse off situation. Simply if the govt. and people cooperated and fulfilled their own responsibilities the society as a whole would be in a better position.
@LiyanageMario Yes I understand it's not ideal to be taxed at such steep rate. But that is the cost we have to bear given the very limited options the country has at the moment.
