Although we may have far more creature comforts today. Land, housing, and other core assets are as expensive as ever.

- zimablue 9y agoIronically, reading the comments it seems that this is written from some right wing perspective of "everyone should be happy with their lot". But counting wealth in terms of nice things you can eat and cosmetic surgery itself betrays a massively out of touch perspective. Almost everyone in the world spends almost all of their time working a job that they hate, because they have no choice about it. The people who view work less like this are mostly the upper classes, because for them work is much more likely to be vocational, fun or semi-optional. If you meet someone working in tech or trading in finance, there's a skew but they might have a rich or poor background. If you meet a journalist, or anyone with a "cool" or "fun" job, they're almost certainly very wealthy by background.
