    Stagnant wage, ($2800/mo in some places) apartment rent price surpassing the moon and on it’s way to Jupiter and Saturn, inflation + greedflation exceeding 20% in the last few years, and so many more.

    "Uh, guys… this is rather concerning… " - Macy’s and Costco.

    “You don’t say?” - Everyone else


    Here my anecdote, the entire economy in the last few years sent my ENTIRE family into a panic, I am literally setting up a mini-farm that is 100% automated with farm bot to sustain my family (you can check https://farm.bot , everything there is open source and they provide a package for pre-built stuff if you want it.) We literally started working on building a multi-generational housing and getting our power off-grid, because we can easily see a writing on the wall with this economy.

    1. Unregulated Stock Market (As much as SEC want to claim otherwise, you could try and hedge your wealth, but I really doubt you can make 20%+ interest a year when combined greedflation and inflation, both of which are misreporting.)
    2. Health Insurance cost $600/mo for young folks and $1400/mo for old folks and that with minimal coverage.
    3. Water pollution (Oil Fracking)
    4. Food Price instability and greed

    I could go on and on for all of the problems, if you’re not setting up for off-grid living already, I really wish you the best of luck.
