On the other had, we are a lot better at making things out of cheap materials. Clothes from Target are relatively durable considering the price, especially if you do basic repairs like they would have back then.

Even the food is probably better now.

It's not perfect, but modern products are pretty amazing. A shirt can sell for $2 and last 20 years in some cases.

Of course sweatshops and pollution are still awful.
