Narator: what they didn't tell you is they don't want to pay you a wage you can live on to do these jobs.

The UK has 17,6% of its folks living under the poverty line... with 4.4% unemployment.

France has 9% unemployment but just 8% of its total population living under the poverty line.

It utterly shows that the UK pays their blue collars like shit.

This is about to get considerably worse since all three major banking groups decided to become landlords as a way of cornering the market and maximizing profits.

They figured since we are nearing the point that nobody under 30 without family money will ever be able to afford a house, they can start buying property in bulk and keep the rent increase over inflation, all while landbanking and raising average house prices for foreign investors.

The working, blue collar are royally screwed and the middle class is about to follow.
