Universal for whom?

- keiferski 1y agoI wrote that to imply that the living standards of 1960 were normal in 1960, but wouldn’t be normal today. Don’t over-focus on the word universal and miss the point I was making.
- jedimastert 1y agoAnd don't miss the point that I'm making, which is that the standards of living in 1960 for some people was built on the back of exploiting others.
- keiferski 1y agoSigh. Again, that has nothing to do with my comment. My point was that living standards at X point in the past were normal for the time but aren’t normal for today. 1960 was a random year I picked. The point is that if one can manage to live “behind the times” materially, life is cheaper.
