Would you say living in America is like living like a king 500+ years ago?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Not everyone of course. Some people live in poverty and it’s horrible. But honestly people have it so good today. We can eat food as good if not better than what kings ate, we have safety, we have extra money to buy things like cars, boats or other fun toys.

it would be hard to argue that life isn’t better now than it was 50 years ago. In America.

Pretty sure kings didn't worry about how they might pay an ambulance bill or if they break a leg.

Also, eating a big mac and fries is just gratifying your base senses. What does America have beyond hypertension medication and most adult men having a hefty pair of tits.

Don't get me wrong. The US is great in many ways, but also dismal in many others.

[ChefPapiChulo]

actually they did. kings had a short life span.

[lightbulb27]

To some extent and better in many ways. But we don’t have their power.

[ChefPapiChulo]

kings were often at the mercy of the mob, and the lords they ruled over.

Yes, for sure with all the indulgence
