No it's not. Clearly our standard of living keeps improving, so costs keep going up.

I could work 10 hours a week and easily afford a 1920's lifestyle. But I prefer 21st century healthcare.

Perfectly viable anywhere without privatized healthcare.

Today, we are able to have only ~10% of the population work, and keep all the living standards of the 90% majority.

No, you’re not going to be able to afford gene therapy on a 1920’s income

Gene therapy is still experimental. So its not an argument.
