Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Sober report and a warning for all of us. It doesn't matter that this is from South Africa, where the social contract is fragile. It's just happening all around the world. In Western countries, the middle class is being destroyed in a way or another. In developing countries, the emerging middle class has even worse situations. It's real easy go from having a roof and hot meals to live on the streets. It's not easy to do the opposite. And the actual political, social, economical global situation is not conducive to fix this, but the opposite. It's bad out there for many. Let's take care of ourselves and, for humanness, of others.
