Great, another thing to worry about. As if the cost of living wasn't enough.

Ah yes, the classic 'prepare' - which means absolutely nothing will happen until it's too late 😂

Eva Anderson2026-06-21T00:24:42.000Z

It's concerning but at least we have time to plan. Hope they take it seriously this time.

Jordan Bell2026-06-21T01:32:42.000Z
