I’ve been home visiting my family in the USA the last 2 weeks and in the 2 years since I was here last I feel like the quality of pretty much everything has noticeably decreased.

Shops and restaurants are run more poorly, turn out worse product, and cost more.

There appears to be a general apathy and nihilism I can’t remember ever seeing here when I was growing up.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this same thing?
