Absolutely yes.
Rare divorces, booming economy, a society able to communicate instead of cancelling people, burning cars or locking everyone at home.
Technology improves our lives up to a point.
I agree with you a lot of things improved (thanks capitalism) but our culture is a complete mess and I'd rather live on another planet.
To minimise the problem I moved to a country that many would call backwards. At least they won't teach my kids that men can menstruate.
I'm sorry for my kids, hopefully things won't get too much worse in the next couple of decades and hopefully we'll find another country to move to, once idiocracy takes control of this one as well.
- D13Fd 4y agoRare divorces because the social pressures and stigma of divorce encourages people to marry young and stay in bad marriages. Not sure how that helps.
- notch656a 4y agoI would argue no-fault divorce is at least as responsible as social pressures. When someone can walk away with half + alimony + 20% child support even if they were at fault for breakdown of the marriage (i.e. adultery or abandonment) there may be a big incentive for them to do things destructive to the marriage for a payout.
