Times have ALWAYS changed since before the stone age or when time was indicated on a sundial. One does NOT have to argue about whether times are better or worse. One can look up the US position on world lists of "quality of life" and other universal qualities. Then, look at the US position (in the top 10) after WW2 and then today ( around 30 th). That is about as definitive and mathematical and black and white of a measure - as can be HUMANLY arrived at.
