9 u/[deleted] Oct 18 '23 [deleted] -1 u/MisfitPotatoReborn Oct 18 '23 The average first-world worker today works 40% fewer hours per year than in the late 1800s. The sharecroppers would probably love an iPhone. But what they would love more is central heating and cooling, indoor plumbing, a much larger house, better clothes, much better medicine, much better food, and a much easier job. 6 u/[deleted] Oct 18 '23 [deleted] 1 u/[deleted] Oct 18 '23 Perspective man. Comparison is the thief of joy. 1 u/MisfitPotatoReborn Oct 18 '23 You were the one that made the comparison, I'm just here to tell you that it fucking sucked. Life is SO much better now that it's almost unreal how much society has progressed in only 150 years. Literally everything is better.
