By the way, χούι in Greek means a bad habit, a vice

Μπαίνω στον πειρασμό να γράψω ένα μάτσο σαχλαμάρες, μα δεν μου έρχεται τίποτε καλό.

Ισως ένα πείραμα... πόσες λέξεις μπορούν τα μέλη του ΜΤ.Ο να αναγνωρίσουν χωρίς Google Τranslate;

[firiki]

Με κεφαλαία για ευκολία,

ΚΟΣΜΟΣ, ΕΓΚΥΚΛΟΠΑΙΔΕΙΑ, ΑΝΑΧΡΟΝΙΣΜΟΣ, MΩΡΟ, ΚΡΙΣΗ, ΑΝΑΛΥΣΗ, ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΑ, ΠΛΑΝΗΤΗΣ, ΜΥΘΟΣ.

I got to go.

In 1970, people on average, bought new cars that cost 1/3 their pay and houses that cost 3x their yearly salary. Cars and house have gone up in price by 10 fold. Wages have only gone up by a factor of 3. So now people buy cars that cost the same as their yearly salary and houses for 10X their salary.
If houses were $90k and cars were $10k, people could save more and do better than the previous generation. We are addicted to consumerism. Low interest rates and a want it now attitude has had an effect.
For those who place blame squarely on the shoulders of corporations, you need to look in a mirror. Most big companies are publicly traded, meaning you can buy a piece of the company. This also means you can help vote for the board and the policies. The board of each company do things for shareholders so they can keep their job. The same with politicians, you voted them in office. They represent you. They offer tax breaks to big companies or trade deals that are inequitable.
Want things to change, speak up.
If companies couldn't get visas to hire workers from other countries and instead had to spend money on training programs to train citizen for the jobs they have, it would make a difference. If we invested more money in education to ensure our kids can get a job out of high school, it would make a difference.
College is not for everyone, but at the end of high school, graduating students should be able to obtain a job that can sustain them. I'm not talking them, a spouse and 4 kids. If you want 4 kids, then you need to be better at budgeting and have a job to support that.
Payday loans are not new - look at pawn shops. I give you something and in return you give me money. If I want it back I pay you the money plus a percentage. The difference is in trading current assets for cash vs trading future labor.

Vote for who? They're all from the same Etononian public school background, they all sing from the same hymn sheet - they're all in the pocket of big business. They represent 1% of the UK population.

Speak up? Been doing it out on the streets for 20 odd years and it's getting harder and harder to gather together to peacefully demonstrate here in the UK - politicians are working to ban demonstrations, the police have infiltrated legitimate political organisations as a matter of course.

I boycott the companies I don't agree with and try to shop as ethically as possible, but it's expensive so I have to prioritise.

I think a lot of blame does falll squarely on their shoulders - they exist to make a profit and they will what ever is 'legal' to maximise profits.

What frightens them the most is that if we decided to we could change a government or a corporation overnight. All it takes is for enough of us to say no. This is why people are kept busy worrying about who has the most stuff, who is getting more than me, I'm frightened of my different coloured neighbour etc etc.
