Why has the world gone to shit?

Tiger Jerusalem@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 384 points –

In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product's and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.

Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?

Pioneer woman.

She's got a huge ranch a huge house a specialty made kitchen just for her show.. works super hard to look blue collar.

It's all crafted to separate you from your money..

I found out recently that the land that her ranch sits on is at least adjacent to, if not directly involved in the events shown in Killers of the Flower Moon.

While I agree her image is at the very least somewhat exaggerated, her net worth probably puts her somewhere in the top 10%. She's not exactly the powerful elite.

Rae Drummond has a reported net worth of approx $65m as of last year.

The top 1% of United States net worth starts at $12m. She is just inside the top 0.1% of us net worth which starts at $62m.
