It is all so troubling now. The shift in both the world and this country is alarming. It feels like all hope is blowing away in the wind.
I have had a few conversations online where Australians have shown their lack of economic literacy. It is slightly alarming that these people will vote for policies that will have unintend conscequences. Just remember if we cut immigration dramatically, someone else has to pay for our ageing population. So that's us. Either our taxes go up or we work until 75 (or more). Ask how they pay for their policy. Demand transparency.
As Hemingway wrote "Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm."

ReplyDelete...and poof it's gone.
ReplyDeletePretty image. Here in the States, we have a similar problem. People do not seem to think about economic consequences, and they are already paying a price.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's limited to the States tho. It's very much going on here. I don't understand the disconnect to be honest.
DeleteSuch an insightful post. Honestly, my country can be really disappointing for people of all ages. I’ve thought about leaving, but my loved ones are here — so even though life can be tough, it still feels like home.

J'aime beaucoup cette citation d'Hemingway. Quant à ce que tu dis, je crois qu'on peut le constater dans tous les pays, malheureusement. J'aime beaucoup cette photo qui évoque la fragilité
ReplyDeleteYes....people are not educated and/or willfully ignorant of consequences...
