Just so concerned about this country

[ninnynonny]

To be honest, we, as a family are 'ok'. We're by no means well off but have a reasonable income and not huge outgoings (at the moment); but I am so worried about the state of the country economically. Just watching the national and local news today - the cost of living is insane; the Government is a huge mess - with no sign of any of them giving a monkeys about the populus, and so many thousands of people are struggling and will be in a terrible position over the next few months.
How on earth is this sustainable? What is going to happen when people simply cannot afford to, well, live, basically.
I work in the homelessness sector and can only see more families and individuals coming through the doors - and with massive funding cuts, honestly, what will happen?
I'm feeling a little hysterical over it all, for want of a better word!!
Will things improve - what has to happen?

You would have thought that the last 2 years might have taught us something wouldn't you? All that fake compassion and virtue signalling every week!
We needed those low paid carers who often are here as a result of immigration..ditto nursing.

There was the political will to get the majority of rough sleepers into accommodation but now it's back to sleeping in doorways..
As other pps have said they need to shake the money tree and build mass social housing..cap private rents to 2/3rds of social rents..in the short term it would provide jobs as it did post war.
All the empty properties mentioned earlier need to be requisitioned by councils unless owners can prove they are lived in 11 months a year. Safe, secure housing isn't a 'if you are lucky enough' , 'if you are rich enough ' it's a bloody human right in this day and age in an allegedly rich nation!
