We literally have worse wealth inequality than in 1700s France.

Would you rather live now or in 1700s France?

Because for me personally I enjoy living with the benefits of the various progressive eras that enable me to do things like buy meat that wasn't sitting on the floor being eaten by rats and coughed on by a worker with tuberculosis.

Give it another few hundred years and we'll look back at practices from 2026 that seem equally appalling.
