If you have money everything is available in any quantity you want BUT food and rent prices have sky-rocketed for basics where it takes THREE jobs a day per family member to cover costs of rent, utilities, transportation and food for the average person. A single tomato can sometimes cost 10% of a daily salary!
Exacerbating the situation is the Islamic government fails to pay factory and office workers their salaries for as long a nine months at a time. So foraging for bits of bread and food in garbage bins has become an imperative necessity for survival even for families with an employed bread winner!
Many families send people to garbage dumps to wait for arriving garbage trucks and try to sift out anything they can eat or use. Photos of this exist.
The female members of families are consumers but cannot contribute to revenues as jobs are mostly tailored/acceptable for men and in VERY short supply for men, so women, wives and daughters, have to turn to prostitution to bring in money. Or to sit and beg for alms in the streets along with HALF A MILLION homeless children striving to survive a harsh life — in Tehran alone!
Life pressures have turned about 30% of the men into drug ADDICTS and another 20% into drug users to try to ease their misery and hoplessness.

Such is the way of governments that do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. The Islamic peoples are enemies of Israel and sorrowfully are enemies of God and His Christ. All governments and religions that do not beleive the truth of the God of Israel and His Christ are subject to the powers of darkness and walk in the ways of Lucifer, the prince of the power of the air.
