这是一个克罗地亚人最近的留言：
I'm in Croatia, prices of electricity increased, but not that much, I used to pay around 15 usd, now I pay 20usd. A bottle of methane gas for home consumption increased from 20 usd to almost 30 usd. Car fuel (eurosuper 95) increased initially from 11 kuna (1.5 euro per liter) to almost 13.5 kuna (1.8 euro), recently it dropped to 10.6 kn (1.4 euro per liter). Honestly, I think winter is not going to be that bad, here in my hometown (Rijeka, western Croatia) our temperatures rarely drop below 0 celsius degrees in winter, sometimes when it's sunny there can be 15-20 degrees in December. Most of Southern Europe has the same climate. Some Kremlin propagandists think we are gonna starve to death and whine about gas prices, but we survived worse times... In comparison, my wife's family in Russia is struggling with sanctions (my brother in law cannot sell his car since it's imported and nobody in Russia wants to buy imported cars), some family members had problems to get medicines (imported from abroad), prices of food dramatically increased etc... and just six months passed since the beginning of the war. Imagine what will happen in the following 12 months.
我们上几周去过克罗地亚，他说的是实情。另外，克罗地亚将于明年1月1日进入欧元区。老百姓实际上挺紧张的，因为怕进入欧元区以后会出现比较高的通膨。所以，这个克罗地亚人的发言，并不是哈欧的，而是在疑欧的背景下说的。
所以，大家应该很清楚了吧？克罗地亚在欧盟属于穷国，穷国尚且如此，富国有什么问题吗？
当然，作为生产资料的石油天然气价格上涨，给企业和小业主带来的问题，还是要想办法解决的。但这是另一个话题了
比利时最近出了对应措施，其中很重要的就是缓缴银行贷款和社保费，期限是一年。
实际上类似的措施在疫情期间用过，但只有半年。当时很多人申请，因为今天不知道明天。那种担忧恐惧是内卷的，所以抑郁和离婚特别多。
这次我不能确定会有很多人申请，因为当人有工作的时候，他的消费预期就不会看灰，所以，他就不可能轻易地想到用这个优惠，因为又不是不缴
但是，这些是对企业尤其是小业主会非常有利。说实在的，如果企业倒闭，小业主关门，在福利国家，雇员和关门的小业主还是进入社保，所以你现在少收些社保费用，保证企业和小业主继续开业，效果不是积极得多！
经济就是这样，给渔不给鱼，这才是正道
