    So how is it the best times if the last generation had it better. People are frustrated because life is getting worse due to income disparity. The same thing that caused the last bad time during the depression.

      I said, “one of the best times.” There may be .001 % of times that were better than the present. Surely you can’t expect to live in the very best time of the 300 000 years of human existence.

        The thing again though is if it was a case where the ones with the most made as much or really the most sacrifice. I bet not many people would be frustrated. But when you are forced sacrifice so the world can see the first trillionaire be birthed. thats a big rasberries all around.

      The sentence was “one of the best”, not “the best”, so it’s not a contradiction at all.

        Ultimately my point was if the wealthy had it as relatively bad as the plebs the upset would be less. People don’t like sacrificing for people of much greater privelege having a bit more.
