Unavoidably, the international confluence of events affects everyone and no one, regardless of income, will remain unaffected.
Caring for our fellow citizens who are in the greatest danger, however, must be a top priority in all government planning.
The state has a duty to assist them to the greatest extent possible, because they are not threatened simply by a small decline in the standard of living, but may well face dilemmas heretofore inconceivable for a Western country, such as “food or heating?”
