I noticed some 3 weeks ago that I suddenly had to pay some E10-E15 more at the cash register of the supermarket for basically the same stuff. That is about $20 more, so a lot!
I shrugged, thought that maybe I had a few more expensive things. But... next week the same, then again.
Apparently food prices have gone up here, this is in the news too.
Petrol prices are going through the roof! Around or over E2 a litre now.
Gas is going to be insanely expensive, almost 2x what we used to pay. (we heat our houses and cook with gas). The excuse is shortage because they had to reduce getting gas in a Dutch province as it was causing a lot of earthquakes. But... that gas was mostly going abroad?
I got a fixed price for another 2 years, as do many others, but government was trying to undo that so they could charge everyone with the insane high price. In the end they didn't get away with it. Thank goodness. So I should be good for another 2 yrs.
They say health insurance will be going through the roof too.
Many people are getting concerned and worried about how to pay the bills and what to do if we cannot afford gas (heating) anymore.
And apparently the PM wants everyone to take in at least 1 refugee? WTF???
Is this going on in other countries as well?
