      Maybe not in the “developed” countries, but capitalism been fucking the rest of the world for a long while.

      Also, are you forgetting the economic recession in 2008? That also wasn’t terribly fun. Millenials haven’t had a great go at this “good old days” either. Maybe when we were children, but it’s not like we were out buying houses then.

      Also, 10 years ago was 2016, which is when all this awful really dove off a cliff for those in the “developed” world.

        it’s difficult to explain concisely, it boils down to this; ten years ago i could rent an apartment while serving tables, today i cannot.
