I agree it’s gotten harder to get by, and that influences cultural malaise and anxiety.
I’d like to add that where I am people experience far more political and economic adversity than the USA, yet this doesn’t make them outwardly bitter, cynical, angry, impolite, etc. Anecdotally people are much happier, while being in a worse material situation.

They seem to be a people and culture that are able react to the hardships of life with grace and patience not seen here in the US. I also wonder why that is. They definitely don't have the sense of entitlement so prevalent here.
