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 rarely buy sodas at all anymore and it’s not just due to prices. They changed the recipes of those things and turned them into oily, disgusting messes. I’d bet dollars to donuts they overloaded the sodas with cheap corn syrup and cut out the spices and flavorings they normally would have had to lower overhead.
More enshittification from an economy in collapse.
I tried to look for local alternatives, but no one competes on the cheap end.
I’ve just turned to a lot more tea. Just got a second infuser.
