> Doominess and gloominess is the real disease of our times
I see SIGNIFICANTLY more homeless people in the two cities I frequent than at any other time in my life, there is a snow covered tent city half a kilometer from the glass monstrosity Google has built here and mostly doesn't occupy. Facism is on the rise globally. A third world war is possibly percolating in Europe. Google is soaking up all the bulk of revenue that used to go to publishers. Amazon has destroyed at least half of bookstores.
But sure, I guess gloominess is the issue. Does all of the above make you happy somehow?
- HDThoreaun 4y agoThings are undeniably better than they ever were before, especially for those outside the US and Western Europe. We need to work to continue to improve them, but we are in no way going the wrong direction outside of a few small areas such as housing access as you point out.

- HDThoreaun 4y agoI travel a decent bit. Not sure where you are, but almost without exception things are much, much better than ever before outside the us.
