The eight years of economic depression under Obama kicked the crap out of this country. My city looks like a third-world ghetto now.
Exactly! We just went through THE worst economy since the Great Depression. The Great Recession lasted years and years and years in most of the country. We only saw a real recovery starting in the Fall of 2017 as Trump’s deregulation and tax cutting finally gave the economy the boost it hadn’t gotten in 8 disastrous years under Obama. It’s not surprising they’re just starting to get their feet under them and get decent jobs now.
It also doesn’t help that tuition costs have exploded and the country has been flooded with cheap labor both illegal and H1b which has kept wages down.
