You don’t need technology when you can afford to pay (or force) people to do things for you.

What is the cutoff for the argument that a working class American has a better life than an oligarch of the past? Steve Jobs died of a cancer that has a much better prognosis today.

Technology was famously stagnant for most of the Roman Empire because they had slaves that made advancement irrelevant.

Lots more rich people have died in airplane crashes than luxury liners hitting ice bergs. Very few Americans today travel to Europe anyway, regardless of ease and affordability of travel.

It’s not just luck. It is in because he could afford to avoid many of the dangers of life at his time, most importantly having to sell his labor to survive

Why would he want cheap? He could afford anything, including a staff that could provide for him nearly everything we use technology to give us today.

He lived in good heath till he was 83. The average American male lives till 79 today.

He had hot baths and cooks who lived with him. He could arrange for the greatest musicians and artists to come to one of his many giant beautiful mansions whenever he desired. Who do you think Andrew Carnegie was?

No. His life is obviously better. He had all the greatest accomplishments of human creativity available to him, and lived in comfort because of the staff at his beck and call. He was not missing out because he didn’t have Temu, chipotle, and TikTok.

He had refrigeration, he was extremely wealthy and could have ice delivered to his giant mansions. He had great food, he could afford the best household staff in the world. He also lived till he was 83, which is longer than the average lifespan of a US male.

How does a working class person today have a better standard of life than Andrew Carnegie

Good choice for a comedy to make you seem relatable. However it’s not a part of the criterion collection. Perhaps Bamboozled by spike Lee is a good alternate.

My strategy is to pick movies before going into the closet. That way I know I have a diverse and unique list. I will also have a few interesting factoids about each film so I appear knowledgeable. I am an actor so im good at lying and it will seem extemporaneous.

I now remember they would play thunder sounds and then singing in the rain would start.

I think we did that too. Why did they stop? We have to go back.

Zoomers and alpha are f##ked up because they didn’t play singing in the rain when they misted the vegetables.
