Are you saying we have the same standard you living as 80 years ago?

The rise didn't take place I 1940, it was a gradual thing topping off around 1990. And yes, standard of living (in terms of how much house, doctor time, education time and plane you can afford and how much free time you have) has gone somewhat down since 1960.

And there's been a massive improvement in care and results over the past 6 decades. Just the progress in imaging techniques is incredible. Back in 1960 we pretty much only had X-rays, which are good for bones and not much else (I don't think even the ultra-sonogram was used back then). Whereas nowadays, we have these multi-million sci-fi machines, which allow the doctors to see the soft tissues inside the body in fine detail.

Okay so Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh is just a conspiracy theorist with this article where he brings all the receipts that the US blew it up? Where Biden, weeks earlier, literally said the USA was going to blow it up?
