I think it did make things easier, but then the fruits of that betterness were captured by the oligarch class. Our rapid progression toward a society of renters goes along with this.

Feudalism 2.0

  > Feudalism 2.0 Well possibly. I'm British so my experience may differ but I happen to have read my great grandfather's diary, he was a carpenter during the Great War, spent a lot of time with my grandfather, he was in the RAF. My father was an immigrant, kicked out of Egypt by Nasser. My life, for all the hours I work and the stress, is a bed of roses compared to anything they went through. In fact, I feel slightly guilty even comparing. My children, who I believe are entering a more difficult world than the one I was born to, can't really comprehend my upbringing let alone their immediate ancestors. Feudalism 2.0? Maybe. But I'll take it Thank you. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and appreciate what you've got.
