I guess I am an optimist. I think we are improving every single decade, every single year, every single day.
I cannot think of a time in history where we have been in a better overall position than we are right now.- for the largest amount of people. I think a lot of people do not have a concept of how much disparity there was in our past. Sure we had rich people and middle class, but we had vast swaths of abject poverty too. We have brought the low end of our spectrum up, an I think that is an achievement that benefits us all. More and more segments of our society are now able to join the middle class and that benefits us all. And I'm an old fat rich white guy.
