Британия 3

About 2m UK households have been forced to turn off their fridge or freezer to save money as they continue to struggle with what poverty campaigners called a “frightening” level of hardship.
Nearly half of those households said that since May they had to disconnect their fridge or freezer for the first time, a sign the cost of living crisis was still hurting low-income families, according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) charity.
Millions of families were still resorting to “desperate measures”
to cope with rising bills and prices, it said, with four out of
five households on universal credit also going without food,
turning off the heating, and not replacing worn-out clothing

экономии электричества в течении года, только половина из них
вынуждена была так поступить в первый раз. То есть, уровень
экономической катастрофы в Британии только увеличивается. 80% семей
на социалке едят не регулярно, выключают обогрев и не меняют
изношенную одежду. А вы спрашивали, почему пенсионеры в очередях за
уцененкой. Вот потому.

Социальная пенсия в Британии примерно 830 фунтов, примерно 1040 долларов. При сопоставимых ценах буквально на все, я не понимаю, как они там вообще выживают
