Okay well why don't you tell that to the GP who posted the comment: "We are devolving to the status quo from the nineteen century and before."
I'm replying to the comment.
This is a completely frivolous argument. We should all sit tight and be content because we're not being lynched or dying of dysentery?
We live in a world where a tiny number of people sit on mountains wealth that will last them a hundred lifetimes while the vast majority ration themselves what limited education, food, shelter and healthcare they can afford in a given month or year. A few have unfathomable plenty and most live in a world of constant scarcity. That's the world we live in today and that is the world we must grapple with. The 19th Century has jack all to do with it.
