And because the government has simply not provided them, we have all found these kind of weird workarounds.

So, for example, people will buy two cars instead of having one.

We know in the richest European capitals, people have zero cars.

So having more cars is actually not an indicator of wealth.

it is an indicator of a lack of wealth and a lack of prosperity.

Absolutely.

So this is another workaround that people have adopted into their lives.

Now, one by one, you might not notice it.

Every day you kind of sign up for the health insurance.

You know, you renew it the next year.

You buy the second car.

You think about putting your kids into the private school.

But all of these, it's kind of like the frog boiling water.

All of them eventually add up.

Now you then think about the people that cannot make use of these workarounds.

They cannot get the private health insurance.

They cannot get the second car.

They cannot get the kids into the private school.

I personally know many of these people, and they are feeling very, very real.
