It just seems like the whole 21 st century has been utter trash. The 2000s came in with the 9/11 attacks, the dot-com burst and the GFC which expanded throughout the whole 2010s with its aftermaths and people never really recovered. War on Terror escalated and Europe was getting invaded and at the same time going through a very difficult economic pain and then 2016 comes up, Brexit happens, politics become very divisive and then COVID is the final nail in the coffin. For a while it seemed like the economy was going to go well around 2017-2019 and then things bounce back to again…
Past generations have had it fair enough where they at least got to experience a time of peace and economic prosperity after tough times but it seems like in the 21 st century, every decade gets worse and worse as it passes on..
