You can't set aside the fact you literally said "the planet as a whole is worse" and deflect to just those three things. The person you just replied to was responding to your whole comment not just your cherry picked part.

I'm currently laying on a cheap non fancy couch curled up in a $20 Costco blanket. I've been displaced from my home due to a tree falling on it just days before Christmas.

My point is, I'm living better than a king from the medieval times. I'm eating better, more comfortable, have access to medical technology that would seem like witchcraft on crack, and yet I'm homeless and have no job.

More people today have a better life than the entire population back then. Are people still suffering? Fuck ya. Yet, crime of many kinds has been steadily declining, as well as other things as well.

Seems like you missed the last sentence from my original comment then. Your $20 Costco blanket, whilst great, isn't indicative of the planets condition. It won't save you when this rock becomes uninhabitable to live on.

Seems like my down-voters and replyers are all focusing on the human element, and not what my original comment was addressed at... The Earth. And we wonder why we are in this mess.
