Why can't we shake the gloom? It's more than inflation or higher prices.
What should be good news for people seems to be falling flat even relative to prior times with high inflation.

I mean, the planet is dying, the nazis are back, and we're being greed-flation'd into completely unnecessary poverty...
So yeah, there's more to it than price tags, but of the things that make this reality a dumpster fire, cost of living is one of the hardest hitters we might have some shred of hope of alleviating in our lifetime... so... can we build some fucking guillotines, already?!
Not to mention I'm trying to save up for a two-bedroom apartment that costs 4x what my brothers four-bedroom house cost when he purchased it 10 years ago.
God finding out I pay twice as much a month for a shitty apartment than what someone I know does for a mansion out in the suburbs which keeps me from ever being actually able to get enough money saved to put a down payment (that is constantly rising higher) to even hope to get a house so that I'm not paying whatever someone feels like charging me for necessity housing....
Yeah that shit is crushing.
