General Strike!

Posted by admin under Disposable Income, Getting By In Israel, Poverty in Israel, Social Justice, Unemployment, What can THEY do

Financial life in Israel is tough enough. The constant lack of cash in hand. Living life from hand to mouth, for what seems to be forever! And for some, it is FOREVER… Imagine what happens then when a general strike happens. More specifically, a bank strike.

People who live from hand-to-mouth need to get to the bank almost daily at times to secure that extra bit of cash, that extra line of credit. Not a good thing but when you have to feed the kids, many times there is no choice.

So, when the banks are on strike, there is no cash available. When there is no cash, the kids get hungrier. Oh the cycle of poverty…
