We live in a capitalist utopia.
We have the productive capability, the creativity, and the manpower, to create a real utopia, but every generation gets used to a shittier standard of living
I’d argue that standards of living have improved from each generation but this is the first generation that it hasn’t improved or have reduced from the previous
