> Do people have access to more wealth (things they desire) than before? The answer is yes.

You lost all credibility right here. I suppose people living in their economically-alright bubbles will never be able to look objectively at how awful things are in so many places in the world. You just prefer the cozy illusion that it's all getting better.

Statistical averages mean nothing to the millions of family barely making ends meet and not being able to pay for the kids' gyms and proper nutrition. But sure, "on average things are better" -- and even this outlandish claim is proven wrong by this article, with hard data.
