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?

    Unregulated capitalism…

    This is the natural result of that.

    COVID factored in because the handful of corporations that own a shit ton of companies figured out 8% inflation could be used as justification to double/triple prices, and if they all did it, consumers had no options.

    In regulated capitalism, the government would step in to prevent this type of price fixing.

    But when both political parties are “pro business” and take donations from those huge corporations…

    Then corporations get away with lots they shouldn’t
