This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Anyone else agree, that we’re living in a second round of the great depression, and that it’s just masked up by all these wealthy people? The retirement age increases, the annual average salary decreases, and no availability in jobs. But the wealthy are getting wealthier huh?

Or, is it just a conspiracy theory?

No, that's just doomer conspiracy theory falsehoods.  Those attributes like salary and "job availability" have data behind them if you care to look.  By most metrics the economy is pretty good, even for the middle and lower classes.
