Foseti understands what "austerity" governments actually are:
"Austerity is when more than half of a country’s working age
population has to . . . wait for it . . . seriously, I hope you’re
sitting down for this . . . go to work at an actual job every day.*
Bonus definition!:
“Crippling austerity” is a special case of austerity in which those
people who actually have to work have to do so for more than 25 years
(meaning that someone who starts working at 25 years old may have to
work beyond their 50th birthday).
Obviously this is intolerable. I wonder if there’s somewhere I can
go to donate money to the people undergoing this terrible hardship.
* This of course excludes six weeks of holiday."
