If you know someone who is complaining about how unfair the world is, how poor they are, how difficult they have it, remind them they live during the most prosperous, productive, and peaceful times in all of history. Humans have largely solved extreme poverty, infant mortality, labor mortality, and infectious disease. Humans live the longest, wealthiest, most privileged lives in all of history. So, go ahead and tell that whiny little bitch what a limp dick they have/are and to do everyone a favor and either shut up or give up already. image

Ok now remove China from the sample and oh shit actually living standards have gone down dramatically in the last 50 years...
So why is the average American suffering from malnutrition? You think forcing everyone to eat corn syrup is food security?

Yeah thats a good point too. Its not all black and white.
So when you remove Asia from the sampling poverty has actually gotten worse since the 1970s. And globally, since 2020 poverty has increased in also every country. The boomers generation has a longer life expectancy than Gen X and millennials so not only is poverty getting worse our actual life expectancy has also gone down
