What is the average standard of living in China 50 years ago vs today? There has been remarkable growth for millions of people. If your standard of living was 10x your parents, you might not view life as that bad?
- cosmodisk 6y agoThis is exactly the point a lot of people miss: as long as the quality of life keeps growing, nobody will do anything about it. However, once it starts slowing down or even going down, then the government will start having really hard time. This repeats throughout the history again and again.
