- sufficient calories
- safe shelter
- education (presumably they can read and write if they’re on Reddit)

This is not the 1950s. Most American's have internet, where they can see average people living lives around the world. Their houses may be a bit worse, but their cars are normally newer, they have internet, they have FAMILY. They have vibrant COMMUNITY. They have free time.
Are you not agreeing with their point?
Everything you listed are reasons NOT to be so cynical
