I agree with your opinion, because I can relate as well. Every year that passes is progressively worse for the economy; we're moving backwards instead of evolving. However, from what I understand, the OP is referring at a global level. I recall seeing a short documentary a few months ago that showed with statistics that the world is actually getting better (at least up to 2021–2022), even though the media doesn't portray it that way. On the one hand, I agree, the evolution of medicine and technology has broadened our horizons, but on the other hand, I've come to believe that the past few years after Covid have gotten progressively worse.
it is getting worse every single time because the price of commodities keeps changing if you are constantly going to the market their is no way you will meet the same price the way you left it something must have changed about it. over the years it keeps changing but the change is usually slow and am very sure that we did not even notice it but no it is very different the change is fast and we are all noticing it. the world is not getting better in any way rather it is getting worse, and even the coronavirus period is better than this things were not that expensive compared to now so there is still a lot to be learned because we can not even eat straight anymore because of this economy everything is becoming very difficult. the evolution also contributes to making these things the worst. so it is time we make a serious decision for ourselves on our to make our own lives better. because the solution is almost impossible to fix, even now we have to provide for ourselves and also take care of how self, everyone is now responsible for themselves.
