RE: Brent back to $75. How much longer can the market21 Sep 2021 23:33
My Dad's been in a care home for 112 weeks @ £1600/week. The local authority (LB Bexley) is short of care places for those who have less than £23k in assets, so they procure rooms in his care home at a 'special' rate. So not only has he spent £180,000 (and counting) on his own care, but he's generously subsidizing those with fewer assets. He turned 90 this year, so was working and paying taxes from the 1950s through decades of austerity and the aforementioned Labour tax grabs of the 1970s. Unless they are crooks,'the rich old sods' continue to pay their way and contribute to society until the day they die.
