the economy has mathematically gotten better yes.

economic _hope_ is at its worst in the entire history of the human civilization. At what point did the future for the average person, look so bleak? And

that hope is what dictactes wether people have children.

Even during the great depression, people were more hopeful that the earth isnt completely hosed.

Does anyone honestly feel like _any_ improvements are possible to: our economic systems, political systems, environment? I certainly dont.
