People living with room mates working 80 hours a week have a higher standard of living than kings?

Do you even listen to yourself?

Let's enumerate a few things:

1. Today's poor are as tall as rich people, meaning they get plenty of nutritious food. They're taller than medieval kings.

2. Fresh vegetables and fruit from all over the world 365 days a year.

3. Flush toilets.

4. Air conditioning

5. Central heating

6. Infinitely better medical care

7. Endless amazing entertainment at the push of a button

8. Can communicate with anyone in the world, for free

9. Anything you want to know, at the push of a button

10. Far better clothing

11. Cars you can drive anywhere

12. Fly at 30,000 feet in complete luxury across the country

13. Free education, in any field you want

14. Hot and cold running water

15. Hot showers

16. Microwave ovens

I can go on if you like.
