boomers? Im talking silent generation and greatest generation to. Maybe even moreso for them. The gap between richest and poorest in the first world is that much worse just for the obscene levels of wealth some have. An india and china were helped by aid in the past but you would need to look before 2000 for that. Its like. Oh don’t worry about you rising hours of work and loss of time off and that we never really got proper health care going while a small part of the population gets more and more extravagantly rich because you know in the grand scheme of things a few places that were worse off have gotten kinda sorta almost lives like yours. I mean except when living in india near an ocean sounds great to a first worlder except that no one in his right mind would swim in it because of the waste spewed into it by the global corp who has made quality of life so much better.
Im talking silent generation and greatest generation
Not if you’re talking about ubiquitous running water… (in the 1930s to 50s, only 70% of urban homes had indoor plumbing, while a scant 20% of rural ones, where about half the population lived, did.)

Again, this has nothing to do with the world.

Okay and the revocation of aid now is not going to stop their development. No idea what you’re trying to say.

No, literally for most of the world, life has gotten better. That’s the entire point.

If they are impressively ignorant, sure. If you are a middle class person, hell, even poor, in the first world, would you swap places with a random Indian or Chinese person? If you have any understanding of those countries, the answer would be a hard no.
Ok so I know indians who have lives as nice as mine or better and are in my field and you are the one who said many of these gains were in india and china. So you are saying for most of the world but for much of the world they did not see these awesome gains talked about. As for aid im saying that means what we have seen might effectively have stopped and there are many places that could still be doing better. silent generation and greates generation in a city had running water and electricity for most of their lives. Yeah you could point to very rural greatest or it not being available when they were very young but overall its a constant improvement track. The obscenely rich getting massively more rich while first world middle class goes lower and heck even the big gains with first world success stories like china and india are stagnating. Again the point to small gain in dollar terms in places making a massive difference in quality of life while the overall wealth gap goes way lopsided is better than the small bit not happening but way worse than a well run world would be at with a more equitable total way of living.
