There isn’t an easy statement that explains why things are getting worse.
The housing market, for instance, was being affected by low interest rates. Low rates make being a slum lord more profitable than other forms of investment. This caused a massive amount of investment in the housing market by rich people and corporations, and normal people were priced out.
The banks that failed did so because they either invested in dumb things (crypto) or in long-term bonds. Those bonds lose value as interest rates rise, and SVB invested far too much into them.
There’s all kinds of reasons

Passing aggressively on a 2 lane road: ok, yes I agree

Chrome for home and Edge for work.
The only good Reddit is a dead reddit!

Honestly this is one of the major failures of how schooling works currently. Because everything is so generalized, people fresh out of HS have very little value to any real job. They also have very little understanding of how real jobs work.
Most people just end up taking a job because they know someone that helps them. They end up in whatever industry that is and go from there. It don’t have a lot to do about what you “want” to do with your life and more about the necessity of having money to survive.
It’s crazy how many people will just click accept on security warning them that an app will access literally everything on their phone.
It’s also crazy how many people don’t even know that Threads is Meta… where the f have these people been for the past 10 years?
Yeah it should be legalized.
What people do with their bodies is their own choice.
