Every time I read a complaint about having to do the dishes or working a dumb job, I like to imagine the complainer making their case to the kids who work 16 hour days to make their clothes.

Do you honestly think your life would be better if you traded your birth nowadays and were instead born in France in the mid 1700s?
(I’ve heard peasant life in that time had better quality of life in the sense of stability in comparison to currently.)
You’re misrepresenting my point. You were talking about quantity of people’s lives being improved and now you’re flipping to individual person’s comparisons.
I apologize if that came across as a quantity thing. I mean as proportions. (Though obviously true quantity wise as well.)
The percentage of people in extreme poverty, percentage of dead children etc, life has, by almost every conceivable metric has improved greatly for the overwhelming majority.
Again, I strongly recommend Hans Rosling’s Factfulness, it’s a wild eye opener.
At the very least there would be no internet so I wouldn’t have seen your stupid ass post
