    Looking at real estate across usa, in places that someone could conceivably want to live or be able to get a job, and so much of it is listed for prices that make no sense to me. By makes no sense i mean who can even qualify for these houses on 30 year loan? not 90% of the population. In canada multiply that 4X or more.

    Canada is so fucked right now, its a giant bubble , the medical system is utterly broken, meth is epidemic, the homeless encampments are huge and growing , full of lunatics and druggies, people are paying $600 for a mattress in a basement with other random people paying for mattress in the same basement.

    Also canada i noticed the grocery stores have really shitty meat and vegetables, often having mostly bare shelfs with some meat cuts that even the soviet union would consider dogfood. There is an oligopoly and lots of the different stores are under same umbrella i notice after going to multiple stores its all the same shit and same deficit

    Down in texas heat records have been broken, tomato plants cant even survive the heat they literally cook to death.

      I’m very sorry to hear that about Canada. I visited many times and it was not this bad, but it has been years. They sound like they are well into another stair-step down on the catabolic collapse curve. The USA is too, but not as obviously bad where I am, although the health care system is showing severe strain and will probably go into full blown collapse in a few years with the rate this is going. The Covid era was clearly the inflection point for this process.
