Not trying to shit on anybody but how has the world turned for the better in the last, say, 20 years exactly ?

The first thing, right off the top of my head:

  • the portion of people living in abject fucking poverty used to be 40%. Now it's 10%

There's a lot more, but that's the first thing I remembered. Think of the advancements in solar energy, vaccines, cripsr, and literacy, and you'll be on the right track.

They havent adjusted the poverty line for cost of living in a very long time so I'd challenge that there are less poor people now. There might actually be more.
