Yes and more and more people now don't even have any comparator to a better time - this is all they've ever known. Massive divisions, limited opportunities, constant instability, normalisation of extremes of every kind etc. It's a reminder that the world doesn't just track along a linear scale of improvement and sometimes things get worse rather than better
