What? Access to knowledge was better 3-4 decades ago? You're telling me that people had better access to knowledge in 1986 than they do today?

Infant mortality was 10.4 per 1,000 live births in 1986 in the US. It was 5.5 I'm 2023.

Life expectancy was 74. Now it's 78.

The crime rate peaked in the US in 1991.

Life isn't perfect now. Housing needs to be a lot more affordable, for one. University costs in the US are insane, for another.

But to paint this as no progress? Come on.
