Sure, they are not scrounging for food nor is there widespread famine but politics is increasingly polarised. There is a climate problem looming and the youngest will deal with it, western citizens or otherwise.

Economies are tanking, job markets are topsy turvy not to mention the real estate problem in a lot of western countries.

These problems, while not as dire as the problems faced by those in the developing world, are still problems. You cannot hand-wave this away by comparing one's lot in life to that of a person with no limbs. That is unfairly reductive.

The challenge, as you point out, is how to deal with this information and that is where i feel modern society has failed.
