I worked in retail, and it broke me.
I was underpaid, on an annual contract (sign or simply no longer work there) with wage freezes and when we DID get a pay rise, it was with a reduction in hours.
The culture was no one on the shop floor had stable regular hours
THAT was 1995; I'd lost everything, simply due to the way Britain was operating at the time.
Now, I'd say it's even worse.
I knew many with similar stories.
I've only been struggling all my life and will continue to do so.
I didn't ask for any of this.
I always did my best: I've also always been made to feel it was my fault I failed.
With any luck, I'll make it the next couple of years to retirement age and maybe be a little safer.
Something very few people talk about is the economic model run by governments
From the late 40s to the early 80s most of the west ran what is called Demand side economics which prioritises Employment but at the expense of inflation 1/2
I will confess,I’m somewhat protective of the Band Aid project & 84 single so unsure what I will make of this conversation & current reevaluation.
Was it a perfect vehicle? Nope.
Were the intentions good? Absolutely.
There is no social contract. None. It is dead ands has been since Perpetual Austerity put it down for good after Thatcher.
I had assumed we could simply give to a charity and solve things. It was a good conversation.
A number of years ago, a Fri night about 10pm, was walking into town to meet friends in the pub. Posh car slowed, turned and pulled over. Diver (M 50's) asked if there was "night life in town". I said there was one club and a few pubs. "Any parties?" Not that I know of. (1/4)
