Sounds like a police state to me. Sounds as if one has to examine every activity to see if it violates someone's potential opportunity to eat. The entire world is circling the drain, I think.

Yes, americans are more miserable than ever. Now tourism here is almost extinct. Lots more people will be living on the streets soon. So the anger will only get worse. If I didn't have a newish home on 8 acres, 3 cars, 3 ebikes and virtually no bills, only pay 500 a year in real estate taxes and very clean air, an ideal, private life (at home), I'd be gone. No in house cat, which in the US is a good thing.
When I leave my property, I'm sure to have at least a dash camera rolling at all times. Even many of the people act as if they're the police. The youtube police auditors are keeping busy. The police and many people here have lost their natural minds.
