For me, I'm in rural US. I have a well-paying job (6-figures) in a low cost-of-living area and live fairly close to work.
Personally, I'm doing alright, but my particular situation is insulated from everyone else like you. That being said, while I have a short commute for work my main hobby involves driving 1+ hours one way up to 3 days per week. Gas prices being so high is a big (though not the only) reason I've cut down on the driving for hobbies.
Trying to think of what hobby could have you driving so much. I guess it's safer to cut back than find more victims closer to home.
Murdering vagrants. It's more of an addiction, really...

What the fuck are you implying here?
Why did you not just say what your hobby is that includes driving so far away? Lol
Because I already have a bad habit of rambling and figured writing an entire paragraph to explain was neither needed nor wanted. I cut out half of my original comment, and the original draft didn't add anything about hobbies.
That doesn't justify insinuating that someone's a rapist, murderer, or whatever other angle theyre suggesting.
Also, I didn't ask you, I asked the user making the accusation.
Scandinavia. Not too bad. I live in a town heavily in the mining sector. Our very local economy follows the global metal prices.
NOT GREAT!
In the US? Wasn't that pedophile suppose to make it "great again" ? Hmm...
NOT TERRIBLE
US, central, it's okay out here. I have to travel to 3 different towns for work and gas just hit $5 a gallon, so the margins are getting slimmer. There's jobs available but you gotta know people, and they don't pay great. Food security isn't a huge issue as I live near many farms, it feels like 2022 but instead of any ups, it's only going down
Jobs are scarce across 3 different towns, and you gotta know people
I'm sorry I hear your pain but just, how are you also considering this "it's okay out here"??
That sounds like a failed economy !!
I have a friend who lives in South Carolina and they have it BAD. Nobody is hiring, most of the listings are fake, stupid ai personality tests that randomly reject you. They've been out of work for months as not even 'beginner' positions are open.
Too many data centers.
moreso
more so
