Yeah I think the argument is more so the base level rises dramatically higher.

I’d gather to say at least better than most nobility, if we’re just judging on land.

Then again, I do love c-sections to reduce mother and infant mortality, birth control, and antibiotics. I’d say those alone are better than any king/queen had access to in the past

Modern poor people don’t even have iPhones and Netflix. The word “poor” gets thrown around in these discussions in place of what is really being referred to, lower middle class to middle class.

And?

You still have more food choices and proper entertainment.

It's warm when you go to the toilet at night.

We even have the trend of people transforming their garden into stone garden due to the effort.

What's the benefit of those assets really?
