"I'm really struggling with the logic."
We both, and I suspect many more.
I was arguing earlier that a 40% cut back in support is a result of saving several times on some basic items. A couple of years ago someone posted the price of milk that was flown in. It was several times more costly compared to from south.
Hence I say take the 40% but make most of my basic necessities cost half to one fifth less.
As posted earlier, old folks have a hard time to be aware of the actual difference a road would make.
Yes, I can understand the fear but that does not help with understanding the reality of what could be.
Government and company negociators need to emphasize the real facts to those that find it difficult to understand the true benefits.
