My friend asked me today if global trade really benefits the US so heavily, why is it so hard to afford things?

Rent. Healthcare. That’s it - it’s so insanely expensive to survive in this country that it doesn’t matter that games are cheaper than ever - the switch 2 is cheaper than the Nintendo 64 adjusted for inflation, the games too.

Food is cheap, entertainment is cheap, tvs and computers are cheap… But that means nothing when you have no disposable income

Luxuries are cheap now, but it doesn’t seem that way because living is unaffordable
