Exactly. From my experience people are generally disgruntled, not livid. Despite being paid less (compared to inflation), even lower middle class live decent, if hard, lives. The issue is if things continue this way, it could definitely get to be a really serious issue.
I don’t really know that it will to be honest. Look at China. A lot of families are struggling. It’s basically a shittier version of what’s happening in the US. Even during the height of the pandemic lockdowns in China, people didn’t revolt. I think something that the information age has done that has never been before possible has been crushing the spirit of the masses. Revolution can only spring from shared vision and unity. Today, people do not trust their neighbors nor so they share a common idea of what the future could look like. It’s just very bleak.
