3 months agoit’s funny they’re trying to gaslight when everything is blatantly more expensive/difficult/annoying than it was even 10 years ago. the america of 2024 makes the america of the 90s look like a paradise. shit is so bad that if you’re on the lower end of the socio-economic ladder and on the verge of homelessness, good luck even finding an affordable 20 year old hoopty to sleep in. vans are a luxury.
i mean, your average american can’t read, and the ones that can read are 30-40 years old and read harry potter. it’s possible most people didn’t even understand what any of that meant.
