The farmers market is cool because farmers can skip the middleman and sell directly to you, saving a lot of money… which is why everything somehow costs five times more than it does at a normal grocery store.
The 9-5 is the most expensive way to be poor in the UK.
You commute, you pay tax, you pay rent, you eat overpriced lunches, you buy clothes for the office, you exhaust yourself enough each day that you spend the evening recovering instead of building anything.
By the end of every month, your bank balance hasn't moved, your skills haven't grown, and you've sold five days of your one life to keep the deal going.
The system is excellent at convincing you this is the responsible adult choice.
The updates re the new Reform councillors have me gripped. 😫
- Some have quit as they didn't realise it was unpaid
- Another has stepped down as he thought he would be in Parliament
- 2 died before the election (one over a year ago)
- And several others can't be traced....
