β€œWe need somewhere to live,” says Alex to her social worker in episode 6 of Netflix’s Maid, β€œI’m on seven different types of government assistance right now, and I’m working the maximum amount of hours I can work without getting my benefits cut. But after food and gas and daycare co-pay, we have a total of nine dollars extra every week. . .How am I supposed to afford rent, even subsidized rent. . .How is this assistance assisting me?”

#shithole-countries-portugal

Please note: the Portuguese are among the best ppl in the world,
and the best they are the more they#migrate

Why?
Because #Fake and #Artistic #Democracy, #Corruption and #OrganizedCrime took over the #PoliticalParties, #Sovereign #Institutions, #Regulators, (pseudo) independent #media and #strategic #economic aspects.


Bazuca, aka the #PT #EuropeanUnion recovery project is a #CaseStudy of #country #incompetence, a #nonsense made over the knee for the good for a few.


The #EU
#Portugal is a #shithole #democracy that is backed by the conniving #blind #EU #Institutions, namely the #EuCouncil for sake of of #submissive voters.


#Potugal #election #VoterTurnout is usually under 50%
