Why is everyone poor now?

[Anonymous]

90% of people can not purchase a house or car. They can not eat meat. They hardly pay their bills and put food to the table.

What the fuck happened to the earth? What the fuck does it have to do something with pandemy, pandemy is over 3 years ago goddammit man.

What happened to people?

Why do I even work if I can not marry, rent my own place, can not buy a car, can not eat good food.

90% of people can't buy a house or afford a car? Tbh I think people are getting a lot richer. smartphones, laptops, consoles, heck even are homes are way more fancy then they use to be. Houses are more expensive because they aren't building them fast enough. Cities have so many ordinances and building codes. heck a good chunk of the time the stuff never gets built or finished because of all the taxes and regulations. It's simple supply and demand.

Cars are in a similar situation. Car companies have to build them to be super green and stuff. That's expensive. I think cars now all have to be built with back up cameras. Taxes and regulations make them more pricey.

So in short i don't think people are poorer, but taxes, regulations and inflation are making some stuff more expensive.

Rich people have exploited them more and more.

And all the crisis have acted as catalyst for that. May it be the Pandemic or the Ukraine War, in any case the rich guys made even more money, while the average worker got ripped off.

And in addition you have regional problems, like the overly expensive healthcare system in the US.

High energy costs which increase the price of any goods that are transported, giving tax money to other countries, allowing criminals and illegals to come into the USA and use our resources such as schools, healthcare, housing, etc. All at tax payers expense. It is Democrats fault.

Predatory politicians and elitists are a major issue. Uncontrolled government spending, billions in funding to illegal aliens, billions to other countries... meanwhile, our infrastructure is struggling, we are facing a white-collar job recession, corporate executives and elites are greedy, major inflation has plagued the pockets of everyday hardworking Americans... we have a lot of obvious contributing factors.

Your government printed money to keep people afloat during the pandemic. A greater supply in dollars makes their value less. Your government is actively bankrupting you.

The socio-economic chasm between the overlords and everyone else. For instance, the typical CEO makes about 500 times their employees AND pays FEWER TAXES !!!
