Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) We are in an era of unmatched peace and prosperity, using the most heated words to argue about problems of great privilege. "How much" incredible healthcare can we give away? "Why can't we stop the small thorn of terrorism from affecting our daily life?" Histrionics abound in our age of plenty. Real strife unites us in a moment. Where we are in dialog is sad. Peace where and prosperity for whom? o.O I mean if you're arguing we're better off than, say, 1000 years ago...sure. But we've been in a constant state of war since 2001, and prosperity...while it may be felt at the highest levels certainly hasn't trickled down.

Yes all still happen. But at levels that other generations would yearn for. And what our poor live on would be upper class for the majority of the world. And the majority of the world can see their next meal coming. We are not perfect but the doom and gloom is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 you sound like a democrat let's put it this way: when it comes to the economy, I understand that supply-side economics hasn't brought about a material improvement to middle class citizens. Neither has globalism. But I'm hardly a democrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
