I am no fan of Big Business - especially Woke Big Business - but I think all this ‘doing it tough’ stuff is nonsense, and a ruse to have Big Government get bigger, ‘saving’ us, but actually getting more control over us.
The same amount of money I had for housekeeping 12 months ago is still feeding me well and providing a decent lunch on shopping day. No need for government interference. The government scare-mongering is not working for people who take responsibility for themselves and their spending.
The ‘gouging’, ‘hard up poor you’ narrative is just more of a Marxist government trying to run people's lives.
