"Objectively worse" in what way?

Depression is up, house prices to income ratios are much worse, education and healthcare costs are both way up while quality (measured by test scores and healthy life years) has barely changed, social connections and number of friends are down...

Just because you can now afford 10 computers rather than 1 (who would even want 10?) does not mean you are better off.

The 80's where pretty much fucked economically in a large part of the world. And the way Reagan fixed the American made things worse due to increased interest rates for countries highly indebted

> house prices to income ratios are much worse

But what about cost of housing -- interest rates are much lower, does that offset the costs?
