Ngl that "tomato aspic" jello mold intrigues me. I could see spreading that on a saltine with some oysters on the half shell. Many of the others frighten and confuse me

There's plenty affordable fast food out there, just not at McDonalds. McDonalds and other publicly traded fast food companies have jacked up prices to pay their shareholders while simultaneously decreasing quality and service across the board. Meanwhile, I've got a regional burger chain near me where I can get a double cheeseburger with fries for $5 that's way more substantial than anything McDonalds offers.

This isn't "a boring dystopia," this is just people dumping McDonalds, which is a good thing.

Anyone genuinely struggling with emotional regulation would do well to look into therapists who practice dialectical behavior therapy

I honestly don't know if I understand how any of your points string together to make an argument. "Between 75K and 500K" is such a range as to be meaningless. Home prices vary with individual housing markets in addition to the national market. There hasn't been a "crash" since 2008, and around that time, it was pretty universally a buyer's market, and a ton of people bought homes for themselves. The affordability issue really didn't become a thing until after COVID, and it's already trending back down
