Yeah, I really don't know, to be honest. It depends, I'm sure, on which indicators one measures against. I think in some ways, even the poor are better off.

Yeah, I really don't know, to be honest. It depends, I'm sure, on which indicators one measures against. I think in some ways, even the poor are better off. In some ways, even the wealthy are probably worse off. I agree that any notion of "We're all {better|worse} off than 1950" is naive without a greater degree of specificity. It's equivalent to saying that football was "better" in the 50s. How? Certainly not in player safety. Certainly not economically. In pure terms of game play, what metrics? Certainly not in passing. Etc.
