- suivix 15y agoMore people are going to college now than ever. Life expectancy is higher. Quality of entertainment is much higher from both the devices we use and content. You can learn so much on the Internet, and it's easier to do anything (like finding when a venue is open, directions, etc.). I agree that unemployment is some percentage points too high, but I wouldn't say the general state of the U.S. is so bad. I also think pollution levels are lower in the U.S. now than a few decades ago.
