Loudly, unfettered capitalism and the growing divide in economic wealth between working people and the top percent of asset owners inflating asset prices through increase in price and demand of said assets.
Secondly, government policy which propagates these issues, diminishing national wealth such as the selling of national assets which increases taxes and allows external parties to profiteer from taxpayers.
Thirdly, the normalisation of comparative thinking via social media making it look normal to be living as a millionaire when in reality many are hiring fake private plane sets, renting Lamborghinis for 2 days and pretending. This makes us feel like we're always behind when we're living better than most generations before us even with the global economy in a tailspin.

@Mordechai Substitute "capitalism" with socialism and you have perfectly described Russia, China, France, England, Italy and other socialist countries that convinced their people it is the best thing. They also used fake news, government controlled (liberal) education and propaganda just like the democrats (socialists / liberals) are trying to do today in the USA. Without capitalism people lose freedoms, lack incentives to improve their lives and have terrible healthcare systems.
