I seem to hear a great deal of gripeing these days from just about everyone.
Consumers are crying foul with regards to the forever increasing prices of essentials and non-essential products and services alike.
Governments are telling us taxes must increase annually because of the cost increases. Labour will always attempt to increase its membership’s wages. It’s a preset equation.
The young complain there are no jobs for them even during the summer and holiday seasons. These young folks also complain that wages remain the same or are small so young people cannot get the experience they need, and employers simply do not hire.
Sure many firms and corporations run a scheme like operation claiming there are jobs at an outfit, thereby employing their human resource department, and they receive hundreds of resumes only to hire one lucky lady or chap.
Impressions are good for the government that offers money to firms so they would hire someone. At the office all costs have increased but when I ask why the simple equation is why not?
It’s happening everywhere so why not here they would say. Complaint after complaint about increases here and there but always a weak explanation as to why it’s happening.
My wife and children complain, as do my neighbours usually about someone else. As I drive to work or play the hiking of horns is distracting and the angry faces on those drivers that pass by are self-explanatory.
Everyone is pissed off about everything. We look to the south and see a President imposing tariffs upon just about everyone. Like this world’s economy is not screwed up enough eh?
I am seriously distressed, depressed, underpaid, over-educated, under-represented, not thought of, ignored, honked at, threatened often and suffering insomnia. Who will hear my complaints? Yah!
