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?
I was with you until here. The economy is anything but zero-sum. I’m not sure if you mean nation wide or worldwide but a simple thought experiment about the population booming over the years proves it is not. I can help lookup better explanations if you don’t believe me. I’m sure people have already spelled it out better than I could.
