No doubt. We are so spoiled we just take all our advances as a given.

On top of all this so many people are doing more interesting work. My father didn't just work 7 days a week, sometimes 16 hour days but he did that doing something so boring to me I would rather be homeless or dead.

Healthcare is more expensive because it saves people's lives.

Healthcare is really the best example that we are just spoiled children who can not be satisfied no matter what Santa brings for Christmas. Even getting extra years of life isn't good enough because it "cost too much".

Isn't this always true? If you were born three hundred years ago you could have just listed off some recent technological development and concluded everyone was spoiled babies.

True in recent history, but not always. For 200k years, humans lived the same exact life as their parents.
