Politics Question How did we get to a point where simply surviving feels like a luxury while politicians keep telling us everything is going great?
Seriously, groceries are getting ridiculous, rent takes up most of people's paychecks, and it feels like working full time barely guarantees you a decent life anymore.
Meanwhile, the people running the country act like everything is going perfectly, and millions still defend them like they're their favorite sports team.
At what point did expecting an affordable, normal life become asking for too much?
