I’m responding to the thread. Decline is mentioned a few posts up. Regardless of all the bad things you list, I would still prefer to live in 2022 than 1982 because I believe those bad things are stated hyperbolically and where there are genuine negatives they are more than compensated for by other factors. Are things perfect? No, let’s keep working on this and make 2062 even better.

The naivety is almost making me feel better, but I don't think you understand what capitalism has done to our world's power structures if you think we stand a chance to change anything

Problem is that wages did not increase with economic growth. Those that benefit the most are a small minority, so yes, now both parents would need to work to achieve the same.
What’s your plan?
Originally, my plan was to earn enough to secure a house & future as a working person, and then try to join politic and change the discourse.
Now, my plan is to accept that even with a good salary securing a future at good QOL costs a lifetime, so I will try to enjoy myself and hopefully buy a home that doesn't get burnt down in the increasingly frequent and devastating forest fires of my native home.
Hooray for 2022!
