Keep your head up

A few hours ago I had a conversation with a friend of mine who is going through some tough times due to the ongoing lockdowns and the toll they are starting to take on the country's economy. Apparently he started a new coffee business two months before the global outbreak, and as you can understand he had to take risks which he shouldn't have given the current situation, and unfortunately he has been unable to pay his debts during the last couple of months. He is now considering shutting it down for good, and it's truly sad to think that he never even had the chance to do his thing and try his luck with it.

The government refuses to offer substantial help; they only give out loans they will certainly be knocking on everyone's doors to collect soon, and we already know that the bankers are the ones truly in charge in our poor and corrupted country, so I expect them to start collecting people's private property during the next few years. And the worst part is that they will do so with the blessings of those running the country. We know for a fact that the government would never go against the bankers in order to protect the poor people, and I have personal experience on the issue, but that is material for another blog post I will share in the near future.

No hope

See this is probably the biggest problem of our society; young people do not trust the government at all, and really have no hope for the future. The vast majority of our youth are hopeless and looking for an opportunity to leave the country and seek a better life somewhere else, where they will have the chance to work and make a decent living. The ongoing corona crisis is not a very big deal to us, and we have been through a lot worse in terms of financial hardship. We are not phased, and didn't even need the virus outbreak to get our economy ruined. We have been killing this game for the last two decades.

The thing is after a very long time of economic repression, we were slowly starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Those of us who actually stayed behind and tried their best to contribute to the efforts made to stabilize and revive the economy have been waiting for the opportunity to live a better life for more than a decade now, and given the current situation with the virus it seems that we will have to wait for another decade. Of course the corrupt politicians and mainstream media outlets won't say a word about that to the average Joes, but people who know about numbers and keep an eye on the country's Gross Domestic Product know that there is no way out other than to impose higher taxes.

Seen it all before

This would force thousands of businesses to either shut down or sack a percentage of their employees, which in return would send the unemployment rate through the roof, which in return would force the government to lower the minimum wage in an attempt to encourage businesses to hire more employees. Then the clowns disguised as politicians running the country would exclaim that they managed to lower the unemployment rates because they're geniuses, but reality would be a different story. In reality, everybody would be working all day long in order to be able to provide for their basic needs, heavily underpaid and under terrible conditions due to being too easily replaceable given the high unemployment rate.

Because what good is it to have a job that doesn't even pay you enough to make ends meet? And what good is an employer who tries to take advantage of you in every possible way and threatens to fire you if you happen to have any problem with his rules? That's exactly what has been going on here since 2009. So mark my words and be ready to experience the situation I am describing unless you do something to stop the catastrophic lockdowns that create ten problems for every problem they solve. I know most people are too scared and somehow convinced that all of this mess is going on because governments care about our well-being, but I need them to understand that even if their intentions are actually good, their tactics are flawed and have failed.

The truth is that my friend belongs to this group of people who believe the government and the media would never lie to them, and even though I really don't understand how he can just blindly trust power-hungry strangers in a world where everyone is after the money, I respect that and don't try to change his mind. Of course I am not implying that everyone in positions of power is corrupt, but I am implying that it's never a good choice to just blindly trust and believe what they tell you without looking things up on your own. People do terrible things for money and power, so don't expect the people running the entire country and controlling even the country's armed forces to be absolutely innocent.

Keep an eye on them

They didn't make it there by accident; they have very powerful friends, people who control the mainstream media, the police, the justice system, even the money supply of the entire country. These people are pulling the strings and they don't want you to know about them. They are the real government, and the ones placed in the parliament are their puppets, doing and saying what they're told to. And that's sadly the bitter truth for most countries in the world nowadays. And that is also why you can never blindly trust your government. You need to always watch and keep them in check. Always keep your eyes open and don't let them decide for you without you.

Even though his passive attitude combined with that of millions of others is the main reason for his suffering, it hurts to see my friend getting slapped in the face like that, and I try to encourage him to keep the business going and look for ways to adapt to the situation. It also hurts to see him still unable to realize that these politicians do not really have his best interests in mind, but he is still refusing to see the truth for what it really is. That is no suprise to me though, and that's the reason I no longer try to open his eyes and just avoid the conversation whenever it starts to lean towards politics.

United we stand

You may wonder how it is possible to hang out with people I completely disagree with, but this stuff doesn't really matter to me. If you're a decent person I can trust and have a good time with, then we can be friends forever regardless of who you are. But yeah, I have to admit that whenever I hear him say ridiculous things about the good and fair government of ours, it's taking its toll on my mental health. I guess you can't have it all in life. Plus, this is what the powers that be would like us to do; fight each other and be divided.

Anyway, that's it for today, and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my concerns engraved in those lines. I'm very disappointed with the world; I seriously can't believe how gullible we are. They can make us believe whatever they want us to believe and it's terrifying how easy to manipulate we have become. We do not care about anything, we do not question anything, we have no time at all to research anything, and we are willing to believe anything and everything. Something is seriously wrong with us.

I appreciate your attention,
