Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We've come far, and have further to go!

Wealth inequality is possibly the highest it's ever been in history.

I wouldn't be surprised if food wasted (food that goes straight to the trash) nowadays is also at peak numbers, or close to.

During the Bolsonaro years (2019-2022), Brazil saw a drastic increase in extreme poverty, made worse by the pandemic. Poor people were literally scavenging carcasses for anything that could still be eaten. We're still trying to recover.

Do not take any of those good things for granted, they can be very easily reverted by a small number of psychopath assholes.
