i am middle aged man, i experienced life since before even computer and smartphone is a thing like today.

back then, i feel that life is much easier, what i mean easier is more simple life, less competition, less stress, fresh environment, and more happiness despite lack of technology.

but right now, everything is just too complicated despite of power of tech, internet, smartphone, and AI helps, i feel that life is much harder right now, what i mean is like competition is everywhere, stressful everyday, crowded city, and i easily depressed these days.

is it just me or everyone else can relate to what happens right now?

horded wealth
refused to retire or mentor
outsourced manufacturing to Asia for a quick buck
aggressively supported anti-labor policies.
deregulated the environment, media, antitrust - all the things that kept water and air clean, houses affordable, and an empowered middle class possible.
Allowed the uber-corrupt Machiavellian shitbird pals of Nixon to run and influence the country for decades.
killed pensions
Supported Israel, turning a blind eye to their blackmail, false-flag attacks, and war crimes.
fostered evangelical dumbassery, satanic panic, etc.

I mean, Boomer greed and selfishness has given us the burning heap we have now. Good news is it's too late. They benefitted from the establishment of the middle class and then shot it in the face.
