Have you noticed that around the mid 2010s', many people here in America started to look more depressed, dead inside and kept getting worse?

I have noticed how many people before that weren't so angry, depressed, dead inside, being like a zombie. After it started, it got worse, and then during Covid, to now, it got so bad. People snap at anything. Get in shouting matches. Is it because of the economy, working too much, everything being expensive, etc? And than Covid to present things got worse with that?

Yes. I am one of many on antidepressants. It's just been a depressing time since even before the 2010s but has gotten progressively worse since 2020.

Not my environment… mostly from social media or the news.
the reality is lock of proper parenting. Parents lost the power to discipline kids.
school system lost structure to educate. Not allow to discipline kids. Not allow to teach.
curriculums are forced to make sure to not educate.

Where I live I haven't noticed that. There is an inland sea worth of meth though. Junkie pieces of shit everywhere.

It's called the gig economy where folk work like dogs for swindlers and receive no benefits.
