Many people claim that today is worse than the past because of expensive housing or currency inflation or more expensive gasoline & food, but we accept gay & lesbian & transgender people now & no one hunts down people with darker skin colors, at least not at a systemic level, sure there are some warped law enforcement officers who trigger the BLM or Black Lives Matter movement. My late adoptive father told me that "Gay men" were drug behind trucks by rope over concrete in the 1960's, so times back then were much worse for gay people who were forced to "stay in the closet"
Meg & I watched Synchronic about a bath salt that takes you back in time for 7 minutes & the protagonist an African American man, went back to the civil war times & several other past times when it was not safe to have very dark skin color in America, when slavery was still a big thing & legal. So in many ways, because of Affirmative Action, people of color have many more opportunities today than they did 50 or 100 years ago, at least in America. I can say for sure that the world in general has changed more in the last 50 years than it did in the previous 50,000 years.
Be assured of this, there were fewer people alive at the same time even 50 years ago & it was much harder to live for most people back then. We made the world a lot more fair for more people in more places, with democratizing technology like the internet & smartphones worldwide, with a renewed & increasing interest trending now for more nuclear power & renewables as there is an urgent & growing need to decarbonize all electricity, & social pressure broadly applied by the public on law makers worldwide are making climate change a political and economic reality with increasingly stringent emissions control laws for automobiles for example, with Euro 6 for example, so automakers are required to use every technical trick under the sun to clean up the engines emissions, since tailpipe fumes are emitted at the ground level where most people are living & breathing the increasingly polluted biosphere or ground level atmospheric gasses polluted by ozone, carbon monoxides, particulate matter or PM, soot, smoke, hydrocarbon fumes, tire tread dust, brake dust, leaking engine oil, oxides of nitrogen fumes toxic & many other kinds of pollutants that are poisonous & continually leaked into environments worldwide by gasoline & diesel fueled & battery electric vehicles.
So be thankful to be alive today, it's much easier to live, even though more expensive, than it was in the past with greater degrees of social equity thanks to progressive SJW's forcing changes into policy, but also the morals & ethics of God being more widely embraced with real genuine inclusivity that prevent all kinds of racism, even that against Christians by Atheists, which was reverse racism against white people & men & similar for a long time, but has fades as the woke movement loses popularity & replaced by genuine loving ethics & morality inspired by the Holy Word of God in the Bible & similar works from other religions that espouse showing everyone loving kindness as a primary life goal.
We are seeing UPF fading to organic, whole natural & traditional diets, as more people recognize that industrial junk food and snack food is making more people fatter and sicker worldwide. We are also embracing biofuels, more recycling, lower emissions cars, cleaning up factories, many people are out capturing plastic from the oceans, making wood from used chop sticks, there are more types & kinds of novel upcycling in profitable business. Even fast fashion and big carpet are using recycled feedstocks now. More soy ink is replacing petrochemical ink in packaging, and biological glue in cardboard replaces petrochemical glue.
There is a renewed interest for water conservation and soil improvement even at American industrial farms owned & operated by Monsanto amazingly. We are even seeing space trash being addressed by SpaceX! There is a lot improving & tons to be happy about. Think about how the FBI nailed Jeffry Epstein, Harvey Weinstein & Puff Daddy lately. I love seeing justice served & there are more dash cams & door cams catching bad actors, crooks & liars in the act, so the honest decent people are made whole or not cheated in the end. Our Toyota Corolla Hybrid get over 60 mpg, so even though gasoline cost 4X more than it did when I graduated high school, my car also uses 5X less fuel, so it is actually cheaper to operate incredibly.
