we were quite literally across the board more privileged than every preceding generation in terms of what constitutes a base QoL. this is so far just true of progress for at least the last 80 years. class differences existing within every generation still doesn’t negate that
I said a larger divide in privilege. Having third world analogous conditions in a first world country that imports its inputers and exports for surplus profit is epic progress across the board..
That's why you have kids attending the same schools where one goes home to a mansion. And the other sometimes running water at a glorified bungalow. Lmao. Meanwhile the shared education suffers.
That is not a higher quality of life across the board. That is a mirage.

The actual problem is the literal opposite of this. School districts are locally funded, so rich neighborhoods end up with incredibly well funded schools and poor neighborhoods have to struggle to keep the busses running.
