   This cycle applies to both men and women. Except we're not in a cycle anymore. Ever since the industrial revolution around the middle of the 19th century, each successive generation has had a higher standard of living.

     @Escoffier @Cornelius @SK1ZM I only eat artisanal wagyu fillets and fresh-melt glacier water filtered over the pert breasts of Aryan supermodels.
     
     So, yeah, I guessed.

     @JoshuaSlocum @Cornelius @SK1ZM I'm guessing you haven't been to a chik fil a of late? $10 won't buy you lunch.

     @SK1ZM I'm not. Obesity is a hard example of excess. Controlling for race.
     
     Everything you see is an example of how much easier it is now than in the 60s. As it was easier in the 60s than in the 20s.

     @Cornelius @SK1ZM If you pick and choose certain metrics, yes, things are easier today. You can hop on Amazon, order a Wonder Widget, and get it delivered in a couple of days. That's easier than before, where you had to clip out something, write in your name, mail a check, and in a week or two your Wonder Widget arrives in the mail.
     
     Food is another one, for sure. We have a surplus of calories available, no doubt. $10 will buy you a days worth of calories from Chick-fil-A.
     
     But once you take all the factors into account, including such things as health care, quality of life, future prospect, etc. (some of which is difficult to measure, for sure, but it doesn't mean they don't exist), it's not great.
     
     The surest sign of decline is if you ask the young people today, "would you like to go back to 1955 and live then?" They might miss having the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe available in their pockets whenever they want (they probably won't), but they'd trade that for a fridge that doesn't shit the bed after 2 years because it got a fucking virus, a wife that isn't fat and crazy from excess calories and overwhelming ennui, and a car that doesn't look like Megatron took a shit on some wheels.
     
     (Oh, and they don't have to spend every day dodging violent negroes, because they're all together on the other side of the tracks.)

     @SK1ZM One hard example is obesity.

     @SK1ZM No! That's why millennials and zoomers are such faggots. They've had it easier than any generation in history, and look at the results.

     Your original post and my response was about increasing the standard of living for each generation. Don't move the goalposts.
     Is infinity murder niggers easier? Is infinite H1B pajeets and chinks easier? Is a crumbling infrastructure that's never going to be repaired easier? Is a collapsing dollar value easier? Is the military industrial troontocracy easier?
     I don't know how you don't understand that these are the Hard Times and it's only going to get worse.

     @SK1ZM No gen x and millennials and zoomers have it WAAAAAY easier than Boomers did. Arguably the cycle is being broken only now. And only slightly.
     
     And it's not a cycle anymore. We're not going to unlearn the internet, air conditioning, or blood pressure monitors.

     But the boomers broke that cycle of increasing the standard of living for the next generation. Gen X and the others are going through the hard times weak men created. 🧐
