You're going to have to define "things". Do you mean the weather, the price of coffee, global warming, airport security, ??????????????????????

YOU know what you mean, but I doubt anyone else does.

Better for some, worse for others.

I'm pretty sure that everything you mentioned will continue to get worse...

That said, the coffee available nowadays KICKS ARSE over anything we've had access to before.

If you are talking about the economy, why do you have to ask. Just listen to the news and read the papers. It almost sounds like doomday. Lock your doors and watch your back. People are hungry and desperate. No politics allowed I almost forgot so I will leave it at that.

Since nobody really KNOWS if things are going to get better or worse, you're really only going to find out if people are optimists or pessimists.

About 1% of the population is going to love it. The rest are definitely going to think things are getting worse.

I do believe this is the new normal, so things will stay the same.

And most people will try to console themselves with either "maybe I'll be in the 1% someday" or "At I had an equal chance, guess I just don't deserve it"
