I’m far from being an authority in the matter, and I’m not even from the US, but it’s a recurring trend since at least the 80s/90s after a brief attempt at making things a bit better (some of which, to be fair, did persist for some time before being crushed or just withering), so it kind of depends on your age I suppose.
