As a global nomad for the last 30+ years, the US has some of the worlds lowest inflation. Even in 2023, in some reports, it falls in the top 10 for countries with the lowest inflation. Always have to laugh when Americans complain about money.
If you think inflation is hurting you, in many of these countries I have been in, a person with a bachelor degree and 10 years experience will get paid around $500-$700 a month. To rent a two bedroom condo, which is considered safe and liveable, can easily be $700+ a month. Middle class is generally both parents working, one car, and eating meat 3 days a week. Dont even get me started on gas prices.
There is a reason Barnum and Bailey's went out of business. US society took its place.
