Definition of a fucked up country 💔

@Hadebammy
Cost of living is about to cost the living, isn’t even a metaphor again it’s becoming reality for many families.
What hurts more is that those who are comfortable keep telling others to be patient while millions are quietly drowning.

People that supported the mandate are suffering it too and are regretting selling their votes and voices. I believe next year elections people will be wiser and do the right thing

@AMERICALOVER01
Economic hardship hits differently for everyone, especially when essentials like fuel keep rising. People’s concerns should be heard, not dismissed.

@LyfAcrosBorders
