Do you think the 2000's was the last decent decade?

I am in my 40's and on reflection I can't help thinking the the 2000's was really the last decade that I was hopeful for the future. There seemed just the right amount of technology. There was a good economy but it all just went to shit after 2008 and has never recovered. Don't get me wrong, at the time it felt shit in other ways but when you compare it to now and the last 15 years, things were better. People could afford to buy things, go on holiday. I remember going out several times a week to my local town, eating out, going to cinema etc.

I don't feel positive about the future and it feels everything is fucked and the new is just doom and gloom. Humans just seem too fucking stupid to change anything and we just repeat the same mistakes, voting for the same fools who won't change anything the masses.

I just don't like at all how the worlds going.
