Yes, dear Cascia, it is completely shocking what is happening.
It seems as if the only way out is ‘to huddle together’ and help each other. After ‘everybody for themselves’ we now maybe turn ‘social networking’ into ‘financial networking’ as a way of helping each other.

We all have to rise to the challenge: each in our own way, one at a time…
With many thanks for your comment,
