>US resturant costs up @1% since 2021

You problem, my problem, all of us have the same problem: Government is taking far too money out of our pockets.

Most of it is not direct, so you dont see it. The rate that costs-are-going-up/Government-is-making-money is exponential.

As it becomes harder to the average hooman to afford basic living, the more they give up and just stop trying.

The streets of urban areas are flooded withy these people. Very visible after about 8pm.

The TV (Government spokesman) blames ebil corporations for not paying you enough. The TV tells you to feel guilty that government services are not funded enough because you and corporations are greedy. The TV tells you to be patriotic and spend more on a military that is already 15000x larger than it needs to be. 11 aircraft carriers is not enough! We need MOAR!!!

Its a vicious cycle.
