Saturday. First day of everyone's favorite two-day weekend. It was the part of the week when every employed man and woman would get a decent break. Most used it to get some much-needed sleep, others took care of matters they had to ignore during the week.
November 18 was supposed to be another weekend for the weary people to look forward to, but due to the news that spread just the previous day, no one got that luxury. Once again, the ruling class bore its fangs and bit at the already beaten and battered population, aiming to strangle whatever life it still had.
Cuts to social welfare programs across the board, tax breaks to big corporations, and a huge increase in the defense budget. It felt as if the Radmir Union had given up on the pretense of being a liberal democracy. Some even suggested that it was preparing for war against the Jinhe empire.
