Everyone in the reddit comments complaining about βmuh inflation muh housing muh gasβ should be shot, the data are all in 2019 prices.
Other than that, yeah, not that surprising; there are certainly pain points in the modern economy (just like every other economy in history) but the fact that one of the biggest economic/cost of living controversies recently was over the cost of hiring unskilled labor to bring food directly to your door should have been an indicator that ppl are not starving.
Personally I think it's a combo of a) people don't understand how much modern innovations have improved QoL and imagine teleporting back to 1980 and keeping all those improvements while also spending less $$ on rent; b) overrepresentation on Twitter/reddit of ppl who were raised by middle-aged UMC parents who haven't been working long enough to get themselves up to middle-aged UMC living standards without parental support and are frustrated over having a lower standard of living than their childhoods; c) generic social media complaint about having the life of the ultra rich constantly blasted at you thru your phone.
