We are being taken for clowns as the rich take our money

Much talk these days of food

inflation, and rightly so. Prices of basic necessities have crossed a red line. How are poor people paying for food.

Sitting down in a cafe has nothing to do with necessities of life. Yesterday in south Dublin a cafe charged €00.40 cent for a cube of ice. That is absurd and wrong.

We are constantly criticising past generations for the wrong that was done, especially to the poor and marginalised. Wouldn’t it be great if we cared and respected the living poor and marginalised.

The picture above appears on a self-service till in a well-know ‘low cost' supermarket. And it so happens the German is not translated into English. What’s in German has nothing to do with the English on the screen.

One might get the impression we are being colonised, again. It is insulting and shocking.

One needs great patience and time in any attempt to contact and then speak to a human voice when requiring information or lodging a complaint. So much for modern technological advancement.
