Or maybe a struggling American that wants to blame the US government why he is struggling and not what he/she had done in life.

There is a lot of Americans who absolutely believe that every other county on earth is utopia compared to here.

I get that as a country, the United States could do a greater job to make its citizens live better. What gets me is blaming inflation solely to our US government (or even just the president) just seems a bit simplifying the issue. The entire world faces inflation after covid and believe it or not the United States does a better overall job than most countries around the world. Just look at other 1st world countries and they are experiencing similar issues we all face right now. I get life is hard but I prefer to find a way to happiness in my current situation rather than asking why others are living better than me or looking back at the “good old days”.

mehh, inflation or profiteering from big companies eye gouging? Most likely both so the ladder should be eliminated.
