I went to a major retailer today to do some grocery shopping.
I always get sad seeing the older people (pensioners) shopping; browsing - with so few items in their baskets. I see how they look at the prices and look at the products, unable to afford things anymore. How the desire for a simple hake fillet is now out of their affordable range, when just two years ago they could have had a nice meal.
The inflation in the past two years has killed so many, silently too. How many old people are going to bed hungry because their retirement savings is just not enough and they have to choose between a loaf of bread or cheese.
utterly soul crushing to witness, everytime.
