The State Of Things In My Country | People Finding It Hard To Breathe

The state of thing in my country currently since the hike in fuel price, it was really a shocking moment to everyone after the removal of fuel subsidy which wasn't that new to us but we weren't expecting the price to 3x within few weeks, we were expecting them to bring in a solution to cover the subsidy removal but it was as if we got deceived. Now things are gradually getting harder for an average man and really tough for workers now since majority of them can't afford the high transport fee and they have to literally trek to their work place most times and also trek back home. A friend of mine was really lamenting about the stress he pass through every blessed day, he had to leave the house around 5:30 am in the morning to the bustop if he can see free ride because he spend nothing less than 2k daily on transport fare and his salary is just 80k, that is half of his salary without feeding or savings, I just keep wondering when things will finally be ok
They have no plan to increase the minimum wages or make things easier, now things are getting double in price and then this, like what is this, telling citizen to start considering bicycles as a means of transportation, like for real, I can't even laugh because I am always in my room all day since I'm not a salary earner that need to be going to work everyday but what people are really facing now is really out of this. The price of bicycle will shoot up soon as usual because the demand will be high and i don't thing companies are putting anything in order just to give their workers that convenience, no wonder people are finding every means to leave the country and find greener pasture in other country
With the rate of things going on, I hope we will be able to cope with things because it is not up to 3month and we are feeling the heat already, complains here and there, everyone one trying their best to survive and stay sane with all the things that is going on, It will be well one day
