🗣روایت شما: وضعیت زندگی در سایه سرکوب سیاسی و تنش‌های نظامی - چهارشنبه ۲۱ مرداد

🔹I buy a monthly Iranسل internet package; apart from the fact that it gets used up very quickly and within less than a week, the service is constantly cutting out and reconnecting, and I’m forced to use my permanent line from Hamrah-e Aval, which costs me more than ten times the bill.

🔹Systematic corruption means: you tell the school principal, “You get the actual costs covered with help from the people”; you tell a doctor, “You receive proper payment with under-the-table money”; you tell the water, power, and gas agent, “When you install, be clever and take your fee as a ‘sweetener’”; you tell the technical inspection, “You give the technical approval through bribes.”

🔹I’m a 16-year-old student, in tenth grade this year, with a grade point average of 19/26, but they didn’t allow me to register for a public school. I was forced to register in a non-government school, and I have to pay 37 million so I can study in Iran, in my own country. Do the officials of this country study their children the same way as we do?

🔹In recent years, our table has shrunk to the size of a small container of pigeon feed. Personally, bread and eggs, potatoes and onions, plant butter and cheese have become my repeated meals every day, every night, every month, and every year. Before, when we had dates, animal butter, meat and chicken, fruit and dried fruits, and nuts and seeds in the fridge, it was as if those were dreams.

🔹If you want to buy the most ordinary engine for a motorcycle delivery rider, it’s about 300 million tomans or more. Even with 24-month installments that they give, the installment still doesn’t come out. In other words, an ordinary and minor thing has become a distant dream for a young person.

🔹In Karaj, the Saipa dealership for my car—which had a warranty—charged about 20 million tomans as an invoice and wrote down 7 million tomans as labor fees.
