Look how expensive things were in the 50s then 1) start buying things as expensive in real terms and evaluate their quality; 2) consider whether more or less people can afford that. People have very rosy view of the past because they compar

You've made lots of (wild) claims, but provided zero support for them. Also didn't bottom income quartile see the largest growth in last few years?

Something tells me that you have some kind of anti-AI agenda and that you are not really looking at things objectively. Maybe it’s your nick “ai_fry_your_brain”, maybe it’s “ If you disagree with me, you're a slopper.”, who knows!
