 Zoomers don’t even know of the peak America that existed before them. Inflation hits all aspects of life, not just price. I remember when subway was good, now it’s crazy to even think that 
 Also it coincides with going from a high trust to a medium trust society. This is what @HODL and I mean that it will be millennials that save the US. We know what it has the potential of, we’ve already seen it first hand. Fourth turning, we aren’t so jaded to think it has always been this bad and will always be the same way or worse like the zoomers think 
 JD Vance is the first example of many 
 The zoomers had a taste of it in the early 2000’s but they’ll never know life before 9-11 and it really was so vastly different. 
 Even McDonald’s was superior back when 🥺 
 There’s a reason why it got so big 
 Bring the Dollar Menu back lol 
 Okay normie lol 
 So many great brands have died at the mercy of inflation 
 Things are not worse now. Just need the final boomers to die & it turns around Bigly. 
Can already feel the “hard times create strong men” movement. There was a blip called the “Boomers aging phase where they grasped to hold onto life”. God always wins. They will die. 
 I don't know when/what peak was. The dream team? That time when we had cell phones but didn't use them much? But it was definitely magical 
 Yeah, I member when Subway was good. Tim Hortons was top notch back then too, but went down in quality as fast as the dollar's value.
