Starlink increased its "standby" price from €5 to €10 a month. That is for half a MB connection, unlimited data. Basically for calls and emergency things. Since we decided to get Starlink for our motorhome 2 years ago, they almost doubled their prices for all of their subscriptions. They always do that. It is insane!
But Tio why do you even get a Starlink?!
Because living in a motorhome and traveling with it...there is no reliable wifi/mobile converge. Not to mention one across Europe. I hate Starlink and the Elon Skunk, and we already have the dish for which we paid €300...so idk what the options are.
We use Starlink for "emergency" purposes. I thought €5 a month is fine. But now double the price...and I BET they will make it €15 in the following months.
The price of gas has increased because of a war we have nothing to do with. Why not cut down the profits of the big oil companies instead of taxing the struggling people who need gas?
The price for our servers and backups increased like crazy because of these "AI centers" that eat up computer resources...
The price of food and goods has increased too...
Little by little, like a vampire, this society sucks you dry,
Did salaries increase? I doubt.
Did the financial support for TROM increased? No.
Where is this going? Steadily downhill :D
I am trying to live with as little money as possible, perhaps around €400 a month, all included (food, gas, internet, etc.), but it is getting very difficult.
Welcome to our Trade Based society where you have to trade in order to survive. You have no choice. And even when you trade there is NO guarantee you will survive.
The ONLY planet harboring life in the Universe. As far as we know. And this is how we are managing our stuff over here.
A bunch of idiots. The idiots of the Universe :P.
I should not mention that we throw away more than half of our edible food and that we have a lot more empty homes than homeless people, and how a tiny minority own more than the rest of the humans?! I won't mention that.
Ok. Rant done. Our society sucks.
