ArtistGermany, 21st Century: In a modern German supermarket, a poor old man, dressed in poor, simple clothes that contrast with the colorful supermarket, stands alone, sad and hesitant, in front of a supermarket shelf with various modern goods, but he cannot afford them because he does not have enough money. The scene is meant to represent the poverty of the old man on the one hand and the wealth of society in the form of the supermarket on the other. A sad, thoughtful and touching scene about the unfortunately ever increasing poverty among the elderly in today's society..
Another problem of today and the future is the increasing poverty in many parts of the population. Children are increasingly affected by this, but also old people, even though they have worked all their lives and their meager pension is still not enough to live on. The gap between rich and poor is widening.
This picture addresses poverty in old age, which is increasing ever more rapidly because everything is becoming more expensive and prices are rising, but not pensions.
Fortunately, there are charitable organizations such as food banks, people's soup kitchen and church institutions and other social associations that support and help these people. But it should actually be the responsibility of a rich society to ensure that no one has to be poor and go hungry. Instead of wiping your bottom with toilet paper decorated with gold leaf, you should take on more social responsibility! Inflation and capital accumulation represent a major socio-economic problem.
