The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

The reference point for how expensive something is shouldn't be inflation but wages. If you look at it that way, cars have definitely become much more expensive/unaffordable.

If you look at it that way, nearly everything has become much more expensive/unaffordable, as wages have not kept up with inflation.

...which leads to the conclusion that we've got to eat the rich, because that's where the wealth created by workers went and still goes.
