It's really noticeable, especially in the HCOL areas. People are just at their wit's end and all out of fucks to give. And it stacks, because as others care less everyone's life gets harder. Deliveries don't get delivered, food isn't made with care, entertainment is less entertaining. And it's hard to blame anyone in these roles, because I feel the same way.
It's a powderkeg and no one with the power to do something seems to have noticed, but I wonder how much worse it gets before something has to change.

Reminds me of a particularly powerful passage from the Grapes of Wrath.
I have always been very negative of Tiktok, but maybe the format of people talking face to face makes it possible for it to facilitate the transition from "I" to "we" even in an online platform, which is what traditional social media has failed so miserably at.
Maybe, by trying to play the game of surveillance capitalism, the Chinese finally - accidentally - helped the workers of the world unite.

This is an amazing comment. The type of comment that may make a few folks transition from I to We
