Another reason why governments need to step in and do their job by HELPING their constituents - ALL of them, not just a select few!
Idiotic referendums like The Voice are a complete waste of time and money whilst the govts turn a blind eye to what IS important.
It's already at the point where you need to have some extra savings somewhere, in case of emergency, because you can bet your bottom dollar that the govt is NOT likely to help you out come that emergency. Just look at flood-ravaged areas, or bushfire-ravaged areas. How many people are still trying to get assistance, years later?!?! It's only their home, or their business that went under. I mean, it's not important, right? They can live in a tent for 18 months or more, right? Bring up the kids that way, right? No stress, right? And people having their houses built on a shoestring budget can totally afford to wait an extra year before they move in while the building takes forever, right? Because they're just LOADED with cash, and living costs are no big deal, right?! Ha ha ha ha!
It's not just the living costs skyrocketing in Milan, is it George? It's everywhere...like a disease...affecting us all. Maybe THIS is the pandemic, the very real one that we will all suffer, regardless of our jab status; one of serious economic hardship, well beyond a Depression. But hey, as you point out, the so-called elites will still be able to buy their Maseratis and caviar, I am quite sure! And of course THEY see no problem! In fact, the masses being downtrodden probably works greatly to their advantage - because what won't people do to put food on the table to feed their family? What morals won't they relinquish just to survive...? A jab here, a microchip there; a daily mask. It's OK, it's just how we (have to) live now...
Well, not for me, not for you, and not for the readers here! But how do you make change - other than in your own life - when your pleas to the govt and other people consistently fall on deaf ears...?
We're in for some hard yards in the coming years. We ain't seen nothin' yet.
I lived in Milan many years ago for several months and it was a vibrant city and one of the wealthiest. Italians were easy going and always willing to please or to help. Buses were aplenty so no need for taxis. I hopped on and off them often. Trains were aplenty too. I don't remember seeing lots of children around on the streets unless some went to a park. Italians tended to keep their children close and only out at certain times though they are suffering the same as we are in terms of schooling, daycare and costs. I don't know if many went to daycare when I was there but many tended to have what were called live in help whose payment was pocket money and board. I think many Italians still look for live in nannies as I've seen from ads when you do a search. However, they will be the better off ones.
I did visit el Duomo and have photos somewhere still. It's a magnificent building as George says. I think Milan will not have the the easy going, if busy, lifestye that it once had. They started earlier, had a siesta of a couple of hours then started back at work again often til 7 pm . I think that we have similar prices hikes here and it's getting ever harder to keep apace with it. I do think it's being deliberately done by the so called elite and they know what they are doing. If people really think the Government are their friend and is going to help them if they reach out, if that ever happened, think again. As you say at the end of your response we ain't seen nothin' yet and as is often said, we need to 'buckle up'!
I recently read in an article (can't remember where, but there have been many similar statements before) that if the government put more money into stay at home mums as they did the rip-off childcare industry, it would be far more beneficial - economically and socially, and help the family unit thrive.
Alas, that is far from what they want... Go to work straight after you have the baby mum and put them in child care which is going to cost the earth, to be looked after by some stranger!
It the same everywhere! I think Prague whose burgers love cash is the only choral place that we have been to so far. Paris is astronomical and so dirty. The food only mediocre and the inhabitants very snooty. In 2014 it was not so. Just too many people.
The writing on the wall for everything you have mentioned here, was obvious from the early 80's. As a child raised by a mother, when nearly all mothers were at home (in my public school of about 350 pupils, in the eastern suburbs of Sydney), only 2 children I knew, had mothers that worked, and both of them were immigrants trying to get ahead. Fast forward to the 90's and all of my friends had their kids in daycare & after school care and I was the odd mum out. How did that work out for me? We raised 6 children (3 mine, 2 his and one ours), they all at ages now of 37, 37, 35, 33, 33 & 28 and none of them have ever had any Centrelink benefits. They all worked in little jobs through school and one went to Uni. All have very successful careers - 3 are self employed and one works for 2 who have their own business. We had no drugs or teenage pregnancies. All of our kids are very close - like best friends and various ones spend social times together every week. They all spend time with us regularly (3 live in the city and 2 live in our country town) on our farm. Every Christmas and Easter we all spend the holidays together (except for oldest son who lives in UK). All travelled extensively all over the world and still do. They are happy. We laugh a lot. They are all beautiful, caring people.
I am not seeing any difference between Milan and Australia based on those observations of cost, they are comparable. I will caveat that with the average wage in Australia is supposedly ten grand higher. But the taxi fares locally in Brisbane about the same, eating out for one person, about the same or a little higher depending on your taste and choice of eatery. So while we are talking about money and the WEF. Here are some resource links for those who are interested in the drive for CBDC and cashless transactions in Australia. As they say, "Follow the money".
Regarding "I’m baffled by how the so-called ‘elite’ and certain economists seem to gloss over the seriousness of this inflation issue." - THEY ARE NOT glossing over it!!!! The Elite have DELIBERATELY ENGINEERED higher than ever inflation to stuff the finances of the middle and lower classes. It is very successful at doing this... They aim to make us want to BEG FOR HELP when the full force of the world's financial collapse hits!! This is HOW THEY PLAN TO DELIVER THE GREAT RESET!!! We will all have an option to sign up UNCONDITIONALLY for an "allowance" on their new global digital currency. It's the conditions that most decent people cannot accept... IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO SEES THIS???

Both parents working resulting in our children being unprotected. Single parent families resulting in our children being unprotected.
Comprehensive article George and I agree . Good to have confusion clarified, thank you and God bless you n yours.
It the same everywhere! I think Prague whose burgers love cash is the only choral place that we have been to so far. Paris is astronomical and so dirty. The food only mediocre and the inhabitants very snooty. In 2014 it was not so. Just too many people.
Watch this. Bronwyn Bishop saying exactly what's wrong with the Voice! (It's not a scam. I don't do scams).
