I’m sitting here tired after a long day in the charity shop, and one thing I can’t ignore anymore is how many people are turning to second-hand. Not because it’s quirky or trendy, but because they have no choice. Families, pensioners, and students are all looking for ways to make ends meet. Why pay silly money when you can rescue treasures from a charity shop and give them a whole new story? Up-cycling all the way!
Then I head to the grocery store and nearly fall over at the butter shelf. Kerrygold pushing €6. Last month, it was close to €5.20, and it just keeps creeping up. And now the butter is locked up 😂 Milk, bread, fuel, everything is climbing, while wages stand still. They call it inflation. I call it daylight robbery.
But it’s not just the price tags that make me shake my head; it’s the sheer nonsense of what’s “allowed” and what isn’t. Take raw milk. Straight from the cow, the most natural thing in the world. Regulated in Ireland. Producers selling more than 30 liters of raw milk per week have to register with the DAFM and adhere to specific hygiene regulations and testing plans to ensure food safety. The milk must also be clearly labelled with a warning to consumers about the potential risks of consuming unpasteurized milk. Not safe for us, they say. Yet walk down another aisle and the shelves are stacked with neon blue energy drinks, full of chemicals and artificial junk. Those are fine. Drink away.
So let me get this straight.
Real food = dangerous.
Lab-made chemicals = safe.
Butter at €6 = normal.
And the puppets on stage want us to believe it’s all for our good? Please. Their strings are pulled from above, and it has nothing to do with protecting us. It’s about profit, and maybe even control.
Because history shows systems like this don’t last forever. When ordinary people can’t afford the basics, when “advisors” tell us cow’s milk is a threat but blue chemical sludge is perfectly fine, when the cracks become too obvious to ignore, something gives.
Some call it collapse. Others call it change. I call it a reset. Vent over 😂
