You must be confusing me with somebody else - I'm not pointing out decay so much as abysmal state of affairs.

Whether things are decaying or not - you can look up how much the prices for the basic human necessities like housing and food have gone up in relation to wages. From what I recall there's no question the middle and lower classes are getting screwed right?

Anyhow one can be wrong with 1 instance out of 10, the overall picture remains the same.

What you're doing is referred to as nitpicking :)
