That's exactly what a good propaganda is: We are now arguing whether we are better off than exactly 100 yrs ago, instead of focusing on the lack of jobs for recent grads, significantly higher prices than pre-COVID, etc...

When I read articles, in addition to thinking "good information", I now always ask 3 more quesitons: (1) why was it written? (2) who benefits? (3) who paid for it (not necessarily with money)?

We are only arguing about that because you brought it up.
