The whole world economy is failing. Capitalism is failing. The genocidal war in the ME and Putins war with Ukraine is seriously affecting costs worldwide. Governments are struggling with aging populations. There is not enough money to go around. The elites and corporations that control the governments wont budge so we the ordinary folk will have to pay to prop it all up and it is coming in the form of new fees, charges etc every day.
I dont get a pension from my Australian govt coz they say I have been away too long even though I followed all the rules, paid my taxes and thought for 50 years I was putting away for my future. A new rule. I see the Brits now are also holding back pensions. My bank in Australia now charge a fee, on top of the normal transfer fees, on any funds destined for outside Australia. So when I transfer living expenses here I have to pay more. My Thai bank now levies a charge on any puchase made overseas such as Amazon, AliExpress etc. The Thai Post Office is now charging VAT on any goods arriving from overseas on top of normal duties etc. And it goes on. New charges every day.
