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.

    I’d strongly recommend reading about the world. For vast swathes of humanity, it’s better than ever before. An easy quick one is Hans Rosling’s Factfulness.

    I get that for some of us, our parents had cheaper houses, but holy God, more people are moving out of poverty and living better lives than ever before.
