    Well, let’s have a think about this:

    • Prices are skyrocketing, and pay isn’t increasing
    • Companies posting huge profits while laying off thousands
    • Unstable economy and political landscape in the west
    • War and uncertainty spreading across the globe
    • Another rise in right-wing, populist anger
    • Mere years removed from the worst global pandemic in a century
    • Several generations living a missold dream of being able to work a job and afford to live
    • Damaged mental health from growing up with social media (and yes, I appreciate the irony of posting this on social media)

    With all this in mind, is it any wonder why so many aren’t doing well? Pair this with people that are used to being unashamedly open on social media, especially when piggybacking on a popular post from a “celebrity”, and I’m surprised that it isn’t even worse…
