Mate what in the fuck is going on in this country? We’ve truly lost the plot

How are they tackling the drivers of the downfall of society; the evaporating social safety net, and aggressively underpaying the employed thanks to oligarchs? Foreign wealth buying up real estate? Polluters poisoning the water, the air?
Will these super expensive new measures go after and hold accountable at all, the wealthy?
No? I’m shocked.
Remember, crime is only for the poor.
