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?

Then 2008 happened.

I am going to assume you reference the financial meltdown that had been brewing for years and had been fore-ordained by the weakening of regulations by prior administrations... correct?

edit: but, of course it could also he the incoherent rage of the right over a non-white president. so many options, so little thoughtfulness from a certain segment of the electorate.

    They're obviously talking about the recession. You're ascribing malice for absolutely no reason in an attempt to distract from economic realities

    I was honestly ascribing nothing to the parent comment. it was a genuine request for clarification (with a little editorializing of my own).

    if my comment was not to your liking, then so be it, but I assure you that no malice was intended.
