My opinion life is getting better (pandemic aside).
In fact life is so positive, media outlets have to pull out all the stops to find something outrageous and incendiary for you to click on. Cable news will play the same anxiety inducing clip from news from hundreds of miles away that have nothing to do with our lives.
In the recent past tons of horrifying stuff happened that would not get commented on. It would stay in local news as a local issue. We are now far more aware of what’s happening in distant places for better or worse.
In fact because lives are so positive, we can now focus on these problems, whereas in the past they’d just go undiscussed.
