A lot of people don’t feel “angry” so much as disconnected right now. Groceries are eating up household budgets, eating out has become a luxury, bars and restaurants are empty, and yet we’re told inflation is low and the economy is strong. That disconnect matters. When people no longer believe that working hard, budgeting responsibly, and playing by the rules will translate into a better life, they stop feeling invested in the system itself. You can handle hardship; it’s much harder to handle being gaslit while living it.

The danger isn’t immediate chaos — it’s quiet withdrawal. Families cut back, stay home, lose trust, and disengage while institutions insist nothing is wrong. Previous generations benefited from a system that rewarded stability and shifted risk abroad; today’s families absorb the volatility and are told to simply try harder. Desperation doesn’t always look like riots — it looks like people checking out. And when enough people stop believing the system works for them, the long-term consequences are far more destabilizing than any short-term crisis.

This timeline is getting more and more interesting.

How can we prepare for what’s ahead?
