The World is getting better, but for whom?

The World is getting better, but for whom?

Responding to the following commnet and article from Kevin Knight

Deputy Chief of Staff

"The world is getting better these past two centuries by almost every measure. We just have to be open-minded enough to accept that fact."

The Enlightenment Is Working wsj.com

for the top 10% of the world it is getting better, but for over 6 billion people hunger, disease and oppression are still as real as it was in the 1800s, slavery today is much more common than it was in 1860! in some areas, we have made great strides, but even in those areas, Republicans, and especially, members of the Trump administration are working hard to reverse those improvements in both equality and quality of life for all. Fight for the 6 billion, for justice, for equality, and to start, fight for the Democratic Party, because as flawed as it is, it is the frst line of defense against the destruction of the last 2 centuries of progress!!!!
