“The UK minimum wage will rise by 3.9% in April 2027, taking the hourly rate to £13.21 for workers aged 21 and over and £11.27 for those aged 18 to 20”

“Annual inflation rose to 3.5% in September 2026”

Modern governments have a policy of decreasing the value of money by about 3% a year.

I paid $1.99 for bag of potato chips yesterday. The week before they were priced at $1.79.

I paid $1.89 each for three jars of pasta sauce. The sign said $1.65. I didn’t contest it because it was 5pm and the cashier was backed up.

That's $17.69 as of today. And their taxes are high to pay for socialism. How do they live?
