Solution seems easy enough. Customers can cancel their cable, save money and start reading books for entertainment instead? Besides plenty of content on the net
Sounds like the issue is of low wages and not oil prices. How about riding a bike and taking public transportation instead in the meantime and cut spending?
Yes they will stay quiet cuz power resides with the gun totting mafia in Pakistan. Other countries too have gone through much worse times. Ghabrana nahi hai.
Yes they were doing well and the outlook was better than now no doubt. But Pakistanis have to bear this cost now and for the foreseeable future as we awam is in itself to blame for voting for the current government. As you sow so shall you reap.
