Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We’ve come far, and have further to go!

    There’s more wealth being transferred in circulation than ever before

    Which, as lingh0e pointed, is meaningless since most of it is coming from and going to the wealthy.

    There’s more food being produced than ever before

    And yet, hunger is still an issue worldwide. What’s the point of producing, say, 100 tons of food if 40 tons go straight to the trash?

    Your points are invalid without the context

    What context? Inequality is rising and you can check that with a quick search for “countryname inequality index per year”. For the food, it’s probably harder to really assess how much of the production is wasted, but it’s a significant number.

    we need better regulation and methods to prevent collapse and waste

    Good luck doing that, as it hurts profits, and the profiteers will spend more money than you and me will ever make in our entire lives combined to fight said regulations.
