My god, a negative times a negative is a positive - this person is a genius!
games,
A AAA game over a decade ago cost $60. Players don't want to pay that today. While the cost of development tools and engine design have gone down, asset costs have skyrocketed given the higher fidelity.
That has pushed a lot of games into the freemium model and relying on whales to fund the game. The market won't buy what it says it wants.
stores,
Customer service has been atomized as, except for luxury goods, price always beats out over service. Because of this, stores are trying to drive down their bottom lines to nothing as a way to get more customers. Since customers won't pay for good customer service, they don't get it.
restaurants,
The labor market is extremely tight, leading to combative management and labor. In order to cut costs, restaurants have chosen to cheap out on food and/or raise prices to compensate.

From my personal experience in American I do feel many aspects are becoming shittier.
Politics
The economy versus pay
Families letting go of simple traditions and culture for bland generalized capitalist consumerism.
Worse and worse flights and other public transportation.
It honestly shocks me that Americans are just okay with being treated this way. Republicans want to call back to an imagined golden era but I think looking at many other countries there should be a call for a golden future.

Boomers are bootlickers and that's what they been teaching younger people...
It takes hellva commitment to get "woke" on how the regime really operates. Most people don't have mental and emotional bandwidth for it.
This is the key feature of the system too

For sure. Its a race to the bottom. I was only talking about this last night with my other half. I'm a tech nerd & I yearn for the pre internet days when stuff was fun & we weren't getting stiffed at every opportunity by "The Man"
