    Most historical and statistical evidence shows that life used to be shorter, sicker, poorer, more dangerous, and less free. Yet majorities in fourteen countries believe that the world is getting worse rather than better: http://nyer.cm/X2FYS8O pic.twitter.com/d2ZAP25s3C

        Don’t mean to be a downer or self-centered,, but not ALL of us hit that lottery. Having a very painful debilitating health condition, it might actually be more difficult to lie here, in bed and see what I COULD be doing and enjoying IF.... But I’m happy for those that are!

        I agree it was a sweeping statement, & I certainly don't mean to imply that it's easy-street for all. But in general we have (or expect) drinkable water, access to courts, healthcare based on science, the hope for our children to exceed us, a chance at education for girls etc.

        Historically, those are not generally options, let alone expectations. In this era, in this country, we also expect internet, smart phone, air travel, bedrooms for children, shoes for our feet, and roads without potholes. I'm sorry for your pain, and wish you relief and comfort.

        Free market capitalism produced most of these improvements. The Left has been trying to pull it all down. Hence the perception of recent decline.

        A poor American today lives better than a billionaire American 100 years ago. A billion dollars in 1918 wouldn't buy you a refreigerator, AC, basic antibiotics, or television. Today 95% of Americans have those items or access to them. We live better today than Kings did.

        Watch a Hitchcock episode-the way workers were treated, the ease of violence and disrespect of women in "respectable" homes. ("Happy Days" was a show about upper-middle class kids. )

        @TheRickWilson Why we need to have safety net if we're to have globalization: "In the United States, the two measures [QOL & SWB] have diverged. Although per-capita income has more than doubled since 1972, Americans’ S.W.B. has stagnated or even declined."

        People aren’t just concerned about their absolute income level, they’re also concerned with inequality. A slowly improving standard of living can be perceived as deteriorating if the rich are getting richer, faster.

        Because HAPPINESS isn’t about old age, health, wealth, security or freedom. HAPPINESS comes from within, - it’s a choice - and we’re empty inside.

        Is this because people don’t have as much individual control?

        I think back to Maslow’s hierarchy ... the concept that you can’t get a carton of milk without this “invisible” supply chain does it’s thing. Yes more have Milk. Im not advocating that it is logical, but maybe what folks are reacting to large corporations, far off international
