I feel like the shit is going to hit the fan soon for the US economy. The homeless population is exploding in San Diego, and I keep running into old people that are brand new to their jobs in retail. It's probably worse here than some other places, but I'm sure the trend is everywhere.

Same where I live. Also crime is rising in the safe suburbs.
Gas closing in on $6. Rents at 3k for 2bds. Food prices up easily 20%.
High rates and inflation will inflict the pain for business and househoul
It seems very much the same here in the UK, if that’s any consolation.
Homelessness is at an all time high.
Many people are taking mortgage holidays with agreements or not.
Crime is high , police and health services woefully underfunded and understaffed.
The big business private sector is booming with new cash from someone somewhere to build loads of huge civil projects , shopping centres and Tesco value student accommodation. Hmmmm
So f’ing obvs the Tory’s are absolutely rinsing our country of every penny they can get before being kicked out next
We have all been led a right merry dance.

There are suddenly way more homeless in Lisbon, Portugal — was rare when we got here 7 years ago.
Shit feels real tight in KY rn, everyone I talk to brings it up, from the hood to the hollers we are being squeezed
The old people work8ng shit jobs breaks my heart and terrifies me at the same time. It is a perfect crystallization of the tragedy of the West.
Definitely a trend where I live. Sad to see!! It’s not going to end well!!
