Everyone here and on other subs are praying for some massive change, and honestly that won't happen any time soon, at least not in the United States. The culture here is very individualistic, meaning that if a huge chunk of people are doing well and can afford $50 burgers - they'll make that seem normal and will chastise those who either can't afford it or aren't willing to pay that much.
You've probably seen it: "It's JUST $5 more for gas! Are you broke? Get a real job!"
The same people who will say that the economy is doing well, just because they themselves are doing well enough to justify the price of things going up, while the rest of the population drowns. It made me wonder what so many people do, however, to be able to afford expensive things and live in $5000 a month apartments in DTLA.
Will the world be only for AI and "professionals"?
Also, As long as Tiktok influencers can convince people that working 3 jobs is normal and "hustling is good" there won't ever be actual change.
"Tired? How can you be tired? DannyBillz works 300 hours a week and he's 19 and a multi-millionaire! You're just lazy, bro."
