Life expectancy is going down every year. These are good times for a few privileged elite, everyone else is moving backwards.

The data tell a different story. I've offered them in a another comment, but see increasing household income for every quintile here [1] and decreasing poverty here [2]. While income inequality is increasing, that doesn't mean quality of life is decreasing or "moving backwards." [1] https://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/2019/11/2...

Poor people are literally dying younger, and you're trying to argue that they are somehow better off? This is some Monty Burns level of delusion.
