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.
It's always been in shit, just in diffrent ways. For example, between 1950s and 1999, people were worried about government tyranny due to Ruby ridge and the Waco seige, but they were also worried about killers like the unabomber and the zodiac killer. Today, we're worried about government tyranny because both sides can't agree on not only sides, but even presidents in a party, and rather than serial killers, we now have corrupt corporations.
