    Agree with Seagoon and Bottom. But as a spark of goodness in the gloom, some social factors are much much better. Not long ago, homophobia was the norm, calling people racial slurs was considered funny, disability service and accessibility weren’t anywhere near as good as it is now, glass ceilings in workplaces and politics for gender, race, sexuality etc. But I do agree, for the economic and liveability aspects, it does seem more miserable.

        Sadly still a long way to go. World affairs embolden some people who might otherwise only talk like that amongst their peers. I was just meaning that in general, there’s been a reduction in social prejudices.
