If you're down on 2020––as I am!––one useful bit of perspective is to think of how much harder life was in the United States any year between, say, 1776 and 1945. If you're behind Rawls' veil of ignorance, you pick 2020.
The unhappiness of 2020 is an epiphenomenon. It doesn't track to historical-material conditions; it is psychological in nature.
