We've reached the point in the UK where working full time just isn't enough to survive anymore.
It used to mean stability. A place of your own, decent food in the fridge, maybe a holiday once a year, and not stressing every time something went wrong.
Now you can work all day, come home exhausted, and still wonder how you're supposed to afford everything.
Rent is ridiculous. Bills never stop. Food prices seem to change every week.
Meanwhile wages have barely moved.
You're not lazy and you're not bad with money. You're just trying to survive in a system where the cost of everything keeps rising except your pay.

"We have no optimism when it comes to the US."
@s_m_marandi highlights that the Trump regime in particular is "exceptionally dishonest and deceitful."

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.
Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.
While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn.
That's how privatisation 'works'.
