In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.

Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?

    Corporate capitalism.

    Profit before people in literally every facet of modern western society.

    Years of believing the adage that “we should just be happy to HAVE a job”, which ultimately gave carte blanche for companies to treat their employees like line items on a spreadsheet; something to be minimized as much as possible in order to squeak more pennies into a stock price.

    Literally every bad thing today is the wholly expected endgame of 80s trickle-down economics.
