🗣Your account of living conditions and the economic crisis — Friday, 6 Shahrivar:

🔹I’m sending this from Tehran. I work at the Megamotor company. Since after the war, all our employees’ rights and wages have been delayed for us—almost 4,000 of us. Now we have a 5-month backlog of pay for employee bank cards. We still haven’t received our wages, and everyone has the same problem.

🔹A public school registers students for 20 million with absolutely no facilities.

🔹I’m sending this from Hashtgerd. We no longer know what to do. Everything has become so expensive—we’re exhausted. All car parts have gotten more expensive, the rental prices for trucks are low, and companies are taking advantage. The Basij forces seem like they’re on standby in the city.

🔹Because of the irresponsibility, incompetence, and indifference of incapable officials, our food from this morning until the next morning has only become two eggs with one number of zucchini and eggplant.

🔹The streets of Tehran are empty. First, there’s no gasoline, and second, when people’s cars break down—with the high cost of repairs and expensive parts—they can’t get them repaired easily. No one goes out just to waste time and “drive around” anymore, unless they have an urgent task.

🔹In Karaj, most fuel stations either don’t have gasoline or don’t have it at all—or they’re completely closed.

🔹I’m sending this from Karaj. For four hours today, we don’t have electricity. It’s also not just two hours.

🔹The Islamic Republic has kept itself standing for 47 years through stealing and killing people in this country; they steal our internet, water and electricity are always unreliable, and the skyrocketing prices have broken everyone’s back. They have made it so that a phone has become a dream for many people.
