Okay my first big rant that I hope to get input from.
We always hear that things are getting worse no matter the subject regarding human beings.
Of course many make a living off spouting these things like people in the media and politicians trying to use fear for their own agenda but what if things in the country and in the world are not as bad as everyone screams it to be.
I mean Child mortality, Hunger, Illiteracy, Pollution, Poverty rates have gone down. On average 285,000 more people have gained access to safe water every day for the past 25 years. Since the Cold War extreme poverty has decreased from 37% per cent to 9.6%. Advancements in medicine has increased life expectancy and comfort from pain and sooo much more I can go on and on.
The reason I'm making this post is because I'm baffled by the amount of people that think the world is somehow getting worse!
A YouGov Poll shows in United States 65% of adults say all things considered the world is getting worse,
23% say neither and only 6% say its getting better . The Brits think even worse with only 5% saying that they think its getting better.
I believe there has been no place or time that is better to live in than right here in the U.S. right now and its going to get even better.
Disagree? let me know why
This reminds me of something Billy Joel said "We didn't start the fire it was always burning since the world's been turning".
