“If unemployment increases, insecurity will take a jump.

“If insecurity jumps, the money you thought you’re making will be diverted to security, and it won’t be enough.

“That is why the US, UK, France, Germany, and all developed economy support their factories with billions invested in power subsidy.”
“This is the reality!!!
