It makes me a bit sad reading all that but this is how the modern world works nowadays... Making 99% of people poorer while the other 1% becomes insanely rich. Pandemics, wars, unnecessary space tourism for the billionaires.
The list could become way too long.
Now here is something funny to cheer you up!
There is this Bulgarian saying/joke that beer is called "liquid banitsa" (pastry) :)

Have a great weekend.
I also check out the discounted stuff, especially food as it is too bad to let food go to waste, with all that processing, packaging, transport, etc. Most of the times, still good food. This is good for the planet. I suppose all that unsold and expired food would otherwise need more time, energy and money to get composted...
Oh yeah, I know about that joke. I can even be grateful that the Bulgarians have been given cheaper and more accessible alcohol. They need it! This is very sad and this is the situation in quite a few former Russian and communist countries in general. The population needs alcohol to survive mentally if they can survive physically before and after alcohol.
But I keep asking myself - is this really life? It starts with some high hopes, and it gets to a point where you can't buy basic things. I especially lament myself, because I am still young, in the prime of my powers, my brain and body work well, but I cannot find a livelihood that uses these still good functions. I think there is something wrong here, some broken pixel that is distorting the whole picture, I keep thinking there is something I can do to fix it, but nothing changes no matter what I do, that wrong pixel is still there, actually it's like a frozen desktop that doesn't change... Things look unreal and completely wrong.
Actually, I have no idea what happens to expired food. We know full well that some of the meat is marinated and repackaged, I don't know at what stage of its "life", but it certainly isn't the freshest meat. As I said, I question everything here and I suspect there are bad practices in everything and everywhere.
But you are right that it is good for the environment. Hehe, I hadn't considered myself an environmentalist from that point of view either. That's what cheered me up already 😃
The weekend can't be great, they turned off the water as usual and now I can't take a shower again. This is another wonderful part of the "high quality" life that goes on here.😕
You're right about the alcohol here. It is a great planning tool as well :)
I believe everyone has the power to make changes and steps into certain directions.
Yes, you have the power to change.
Oh, then let there be... water!
