For those say in their 60s or 70s here. When you were in your 30’s or 40’s did you have the feeling that the world was a fucked up place? So much has been going on since I entered adulthood in the early 2000s and I feel like it’s getting more and more intense. It’s never ending.

Is it unique? Or has it always been this way?

    You’re right on both counts.

    Like most things though it depends what metric you’re using.

    Access to medical care for example is better than its ever been.

      Access to medical care for example is better than its ever been.

      Only in specific parts of the world. Other parts have always been behind, or straight up non-existent, and in one country access to medical care is actually getting worse when it really has no reason to.

        I don’t really understand. Some places may have less medical care than others but it’s still better than it’s ever been in those places.
