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?
The list of resources we are running out of should include resiliant ecosystems. Apart from that, to me, the entire comment could be summarized as “capitalism”.
Look Im a socialist leaning centrist but anyone who critiques just capitalism doesn’t realize communists are authoritarian state capitalists. I agree there are serious economic flaws in our system, but saying capitalism explains everything just doesn’t make sense.
As bad as things are here, the cost of living and costs of energy grew much more outside of America. Additionally, look at China’s housing economic crash and demographic issues. Those are decisions made by State Capitalists, and their people are suffering from it.
Again, America has several reasons to fuck off, and I want some socialism, but for the sake of argument, saying “capitalism” doesn’t amount to much you can critique about America’s response to COVID versus any other country’s strategy
