One of the many reasons to not being more humans into this mess.

Yeah. I wanted kids at some point, but I'm pretty pessimistic at the state of things right now.

Isn't weird we see less and less Trick or Treaters every year?

Treating has been less. Trickery has been the same in my experience if not more.

Everything is up 30%, except my salary

You'll probably have to switch jobs for your salary to increase appropriately. New people coming into your place of work probably have disproportionately high salaries compared to oldtimers.

It’s a new job. Companies aren’t offering 30% over what I made in 2019.

You may have to look elsewhere or ask for a raise. Looks like salaries are keeping up with inflation:
