As opposed to when in the past?

This linen of thought is just so lacking gratitude for the time and place you were actually born.

You basically won the lottery in the grand scheme of things but still complain.

Would it have been better to be born in 1950? Certainly not if you happen to be born in China.

How about in 1910 so you hit your 20s right as the depression hits. Or 1920 so you grow up in the depression then go fight in WW2.

How about Cambodia in 1970?

Yea life would be better if I was 6'4, strikingly handsome with a dead rich uncle that left me all his money too.

Your commentary is pretty childish.

I pointed out a structural issue of the modern world and you came up with a pointless counterpoint about being born in an unfavourable condition in the past.

I guess I'm being trolled.
