systems change over time, which i think is part of the issue.

Trends matter. I think the US is today the best place in the world to be born in.

I have far less certainty for my grandchildren

I say the same of the UK. Maybe not the #1 best possible place to be born, but definitely in the top 10. I'm extremely lucky and privileged to have been born in the United Kingdom.

Will that still be true for people born here fifty years from now? I have my doubts.
