The GDP per capita of the US is 85,373 USD
The median income is 37,585 USD.
The price of a ps5 is 499.99 USD
37,585/12 = 3132.08 USD
A ps5 costs 15.9% of the Median Americans monthly income and is a once in 7 years purchase.
The iphone 15 pro max costs 1,199 USD
That's 38.28% of an American's median monthly income. An Iphone's lifespan is 4 years.
The average home price in the US is 495,100 USD
That's 13.17 times more than the median income of the average American today. The average American can obviously not afford to buy a home today.
The average hospital stay in the US costs 13,262 USD.
That is high enough to take away from a large chunk of the years savings for the average American.
The average food cost for an American is 779 USD. He can obviously afford the food.
The average rental cost is 1,518 per month. Again affordable.
It appears pretty clear that the average American can afford everything except for being able to buy a house and getting medical care.
So are things really as bad in the US as the average American complains?
Because it seems like the only two things actually worth complaining when it comes to pricing are a house to own and a good hospital stay.

No, social media and modern Godlessness have just made everyone extremely materialistic. The culture is in rapid moral decay and there's a lack of communal infrastructure to support child rearing if you're working poor (above gibs). But online most of the people complaining aren't even trying to have kids, they just want money to fund tourism and overpriced restaurants.

Are blacks or jews to blame for this?
Also is it not strange that the two groups of people constantly blamed for ruining America are the polar opposites of each other?

The only ones we have to blame are ourselves. Scapegoating immigrants/minorities is birdbrained.
Yes it's better to not live around inner city BIPOCs but they have absolutely nothing to do with most modern problems.
