one dude threw a fit in a thread and sent me PMs and crap when i posted that from an overall standpoint life has never been better, especially for people who post on NeoGAF.com all day, and he responded that was totally untrue because he couldn't afford a house larger than his parents even though he had just graduated and i called that a stupid metric
and this was even back when we were a democracy since the Democrats had the Presidency and Congress
