Example Sentence: So services are on their knees, food prices are going up every week – you’re braced for it whenever you go – and then the (UK) government announces a massive package of tax cuts (for the rich)! What’s going on? I despair (lose hope). How could it possibly make sense to give more money to people who have loads at a time like this? I can’t even think about it too much.
