That and the constant attempts at reverting certain policies or actions that would make my QoL demonstrably worse.
These are all facts solidly backed up through studies over the years.
Mobility might have decreased in this country relatively (although without considering the cause) but absolute quality of life has increased with iphones in every pocket, on-demand services for everything imaginable, and white collar tech jobs paying mid-6-figures in one of the strongest currencies.
I have to again bring up the fact that this is on YC forums which have witnessed many people from many countries start with nothing but a few comments and build incredibly successful companies. Compared to the wars, depressions and struggle of prior generations, folks today are at a height of comfort and opportunity never seen before.
If you're not content to remain a crab in a bucket, it might be a good idea to meet some successful and/or wealthy people and learn from them.
The reality is that I'm doing fine in my career and managed to escape poverty for many reasons I've illustrated in the past. However what I saw and what I was trying to explain is that I saw my parents destroy their body (and in one case, lose their life) trying to improve their situation in a country that hardly gave a shit. I recall vividly the troubles my family had after my mother had a stroke because insurance companies decided that a stroke was a pre-existing condition despite her being in otherwise good condition.
Maybe you should stop making assumptions about people based on our animosity towards people that have actively made our lives worse in the past.
Of course a toxic environment makes life harder.
Glad you're doing well.
Part of improving your situation is observing where the unfairness in the system lies and addressing it accordingly.
Legally preferably.
Of course, by the time you figure it out you'll realize that most wealthy people are not the evil sleaze we expect them to be and you'll take the same actions they do to protect yourself against destructive governments and financial regulations. It's sad that the perspective of those with scarcity mentality regarding wealth are often their own worst enemies.
