Uiteindelik word die inventaris uitverkoop, die werkers gaan weerloos op lang busse huiswaarts. Dalk \u2019n paar maande se salaris. Dikwels met \u2019n uitstekende getuigskrif. Harde werker, talentvol, vriendelik, medemenslik \u2013 tog werkloos. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nMoes harde werk nie beloon word nie? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die entrepreneur: Tuis is dit die druk van betekenisloosheid. \u2019n Warboel gedagtes vasgevang in hoe om haarself van die skuldstrik te bevry. Destydse drome word nagmerries oor hoe om kos op die tafel te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kli\u00ebnt. (Ek). In afsonderlike gevalle gesels ek met winkelassistente wat weet dat hulle hul werk gaan verloor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns maak die einde van die maand toe.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek hoop dat daar iets anderkant die maandeind-gesigseinder wag: \u201cWat gaan jy doen?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Glimlag wat hoop dat die onafwendbare nie gaan gebeur nie: \u201cEk sal maar huis toe gaan.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek het iewers voor die huidige politiek-ekonomiese krisis gelees dat die meeste middelklasmense drie maande van bankrotskap weg is. As jy jou werk verloor, het jy drie maande, dan kom die skuldeisers en beslag-leggers en begin jou meubels, motor en huis onder jou uitverkoop \u2013 terwyl jy jou trots sluk, depressie probeer vermy en jou kinders se verwytende o\u00eb seer aanskou. Dikwels die lot van iemand wat juis min tyd by die gesin spandeer het \u2013 omdat hulle \u2019n sinkende reddingsboot bo die water probeer hou het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die werkersklas is dit erger. Die honger begin die dag as jy by jou werksplek uitstap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buite die winkelsentrum wag bedelaars \u2013 \u2019n geldjie nodig vir brood, of wie weet, dalk tik of gom? Maak dit saak? \u2019n Tipe honger moet gestil word. Is die vrywende hand oor die maag van regte honger of is dit emosionele afpersing? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nDie motorwag se oordrewe handgebare is \u2019n smeking om gesien te word. Tussen die parkeergeldmasjien, die motorwag en die bedelaar besef mens dis duur om winkels toe te kom \u2013 jy besluit om minder te kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En die siklus herhaal vir die volgende entrepreneur: Minder mense, minder besigheid, en die vraag: Moet ek maar my deure toemaak?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saans ry gekwelde entrepreneurs, bestuurslui, en werkers op verskillende roetes na verskillende tuistes. \u2019n Moerige moegheid wat draal terwyl ons by beurtkrag-kruisings wag vir die verkeer om weer te begin vloei. By die verkeerslig draal die motorradio nuusbulletin met \u2019n ekonoom wat vertel dat petrol- en dieselpryse styg. Inflasie styg. Koopkrag word minder. Dis winterskemer buite.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nBy die brug op pad lughawe toe is daar \u2019n verweerde verkiesings\u00adplakkaat: \u201cA better life for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
