My current client, in conversation, argues that things are better now than they've ever been for everyone, including folks at the bottom. He bases this opinion on a book written 8 years ago called "Factfulness." He urges me to read it, saying it's very convincing.
But do I want to be convinced about the condition of today's world based on a book published almost a decade ago? No thanks. 🤔🤷🏼♀️

@mlanger@mastodon.world I read some of that book. It was fine. Most of it is probably still true, albeit at a global scale rather than national.
