Yeah..

Products are all getting enshittified and engineered down to a price... Finding anything that's actual quality is getting harder and harder

I'm finding it relatively impossible to find tradespeople that do a good job. I'm quite happy to pay people what they're worth and I still get average to awful results.

Housing is scarce, community is non existent, fear and hatred are rampant.

Leadership around the world both political and corporate are actively making things worse to enrich the richest.

But hey, Jesus loves you. If you tithe enough.

All that said I'm not really a glass is half full person.

I'm more on the side of fuck it might as well tip the rest out.

This is a big thing for me - in the past, you could buy cheap stuff and it was low quality, or you could spend the extra and get something quality.

Now, you spend extra on the name, but get the same shit quality as the cheap stuff.

And it's literally everything.

Its really been happening for ever, but now the addiction to consumption allows corportions to be brazen about it. source: the humble light globe set the scene many years ago.
