>> why do you think, as a whole, things are improving
I was born in 1970. I know how I grew up. I know what my parents living standard was and I know what my grandparents living standard was. I have my admittedly failing memory, but I still remember.
If you want to believe things aren't improving, I'm not going to stand in your way. It's your world now. You own it. But god damn, there are reasons I would go back and live in 1976 again, but living standard isn't one of them.
- netizen-936824 5y agoHas the living standard of everyone increased equally?
- rufus_foreman 5y agoProbably not. Going from a net worth of $1 million to $2 million is probably not as life changing as going from a living standard of $1.90 a day to $3.80 a day. Wasn't for me. So probably no.
