Today pubs saying you will pay more for your drinks when it’s busy, Khan ripping of driving, pensioners about to get fucked over, energy prices, petrol prices, sunak saying no investigation into ppe during covid. And we just accept it, WHY

The Conservatives are 'looking' at removing the triple lock ''promise'' on state pensions next year and also retaining the current level of tax free allowance.

It’s a sort of impossible situation that one if you ask me.
No government should have promised it in the first place. It’s a guarantee that you’re going to take an increasing amount from the wallets of the next generation which is unsustainable. Especially in an era where wages have stagnated but pensions have continued to increase consistently. If there had been more policies to promote wage growth to ensure that kept increasing alongside, it would make more sense. In a sense you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul as well because more in pension pots mean less for health and social care which disproportionately supports older people.
The triple lock is going to go eventually, I don’t blame pensioners for being upset about that as they’ve been promised it. I’m not convinced my generation will even have a pension the way things are going - just going to work until I die I reckon.
I agree with OPs general sentiment though. We’re way too happy to just acquiesce and let things impact us. Either that or we fight like rats in a sack over the little support the government does provide.
