Eskom and the Cycle of Debt

in #southafrica5 years ago

South Africa's national electricity provider is in trouble, and the latest idea is to use the national pension fund to reduce the debt of the enterprise. Oh and by the way Eskom is in almost half a TRILLION Rand of debt, and operates at a loss (has been for years). I don't know about you, but I think that in the realm of bright ideas to improve electricity supply to a country, this is definitely not the only possible solution available to us.

Will you be joining us on Hive?

I think I have just done so

Yes, you have just keep posting through here or double post on steem for a while if you will, but it would be worth in the long run to power down all your steem and transfer it to Hive through an exchange like Ionomy or something. Steem won't be around for much longer with such an exodus.

How is the farm life treating you anyways? It's Matt here if you didn't realise.

OK cool I'm going to see about transferring my steem, thank you.

Farm life is good, it seems like I was already practicing social distancing as my life hasn't changed much since the lockdown started. We just moved so I've been unpacking and organising and such.

Which Matt? I know a few 🤣 Are you from Aus?

I also do my own thing generally but the little bit of contact I do get, I realise I need. There are certainly positives and negatives to this situation. A creative flow is good to find in these times.

The Matt from Australia that left Desteni with a bang, the one that was meant to have been possessed by Satan. haha - maybe I still am, better look out!

Yup there are always things that can be learned (let's call them gifts) in every challenge.

Cool I thought it was you. how's Aus treating you? do you have enough toilet paper?

Well, I'm glad I got a response. It means at least the Satan narrative is not being followed anymore. But to be honest, I did enjoy it for a while. Everyone was scared of me. It was a big power trip.

I'm still using common sense, and I've learned a lot of lessons along the way.

Australia is interesting, I'm in a city, so any city at this time is a trying experience. I fortunately returned from Europe weeks before this fiasco really started to explode. I've got just enough to get by and a studio to keep me occupied.

My interests are still humanitarian. Though I am avoiding groups as such.

I've heard Desteni has become something more accepting since previous times. Well, in light of it all, we all have the same aim. Our commonalities make us stronger and accountability through experiences together give us invaluable reference points that are otherwise lost.

It's good you're keeping up with the videos and things. Well, keep up with your perspectives and I'll have a look once in a while at your page.

How has life changed for you in the past 13 years? I suppose it's been a kind of rollercoaster. Mine certainly has.

Also, I forgot to mention.

I have plenty of toilet paper. Thanks to my housemate, who was already prepared for these things as she has boxes of it delivered in the mail from an ethical toilet paper factory. 🤣
