Just putting things in context here, it is quite common to consider that we are worse off now than 20 years ago (Internet was better then, etc). But that's not the case.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoWho is the “we” in your statement? I can certainly envision some people who think they are worse off actually are worse off. It is a very popular sentiment amongst a large portion of the population comparing their parents lives to theirs.
- korantu 5y agowe are human beings on average in the world. surely some people are worse off than in 1990, but the number of people worse-off is significantlly reducing. If one had a choice to be born on planet earth now or 1990, much better bet is now.
