There will always be people who struggle. I'm saying that the average person is SIGNIFICANTLY better off than they were 5, 10, 20, 50, etc. years ago. Most of it, IMO, is due to technology which is why we need to continue pouring money into it.

It should obvious that none of the people that Kyle murdered had the intention of killing the stupid fucking kid

Thats why it was Murder

Thats why he needs to be in jail forever.

Disagree on the whole. If you make less than 60k you're probably worse off.

Technology is nice but basics and stability have become harder to afford.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. nah. especially not 50+ years ago.

Yeahhhh, you would have to explain that thought process to me.

incomming rent, housing prices, healthcare costs argument. valid points, but doesnt offset 70" TVs costing like nothing and Google.

Honestly I can get three televisions I have no room for for less than a months worth of quality food.

Granted the tvs are piles of shit too but still.

Your healthcare is 10x more expensive but you get a TV. Your student loans are 100x what your parents paid and they didn't even need it but you get an iphone that lets you be on call for work 24/7.

Okay. Not really seeing that as a counter argument.

50-100 years ago if u had stocks you were rich or upper middle class. today if you dont have stocks its only because you're ignorant or just plain stupid.

lifetime medical costs are higher because of both preventative care that wasnt even a thing and because people live longer. we're not seeing as many 60 year olds men just keel over, they're instead dreading colonoscopies and googling whether or not they should take a full vacation day for the day after.

overall there are drawbacks of modern life, but its still better on the whole. u wanna trade up for a 1960s factory worker who owns an out of the box asbestos filled home he bought on a high school education that will die when he's 65? i fuckin dont.
