Lol the world is not hell. Literally every metric of well-being has increased steadily around the world in the last century. Get some perspective.

At least in the developed world standards of living are declining, especially in the US it seems.

That being said, living condiditions in the developing world have dramaticly improved over the last 50 years, from a low bar.

Median wages in the US are down because of COVID, but prior to that they were at an all time high. Home ownership fluctuates, but was near all time high as well. Even now, it is only down 3 percent from all time high. Percent of people graduating high school and college is at an all time high.

Pick any statistic and people are doing better than they were 50 years ago. You are just very, very young and so you think if your life sucks it must be someone else’s fault. You also have no idea what it really means for your life to suck. Don’t worry, you will figure it out eventually.
