Food deserts man. For a suoer rich country it's criminal how many areas of the country have little to no acess to grocery stores. Even when they do the health options are priced out.

I feel like it’s not that wages have gone down so much as there’s a large multiplying of unskilled dumbasses in the population. Sure “wages have gone down” because instead of being 200 million people with only 70 million of them working with 50% being skilled, now there’s 350 million with 200 million working but only 20% of them skilled
