It's just that things happen very very slowly and there are lots of steps backwards. Things have been getting more socially progressive when you look in the span of decades instead of years. Economically it has been getting worse though.
Things have been getting more socially progressive because it didn't impact profits.
The environmental, welfare and worker reforms we desperately need continue to move at a snails pace. Unambitious ideas, pushed by people who don't really want them to pass and opposed by the richest and most powerful people in the world.
And now, all that social progress has just become another thing to package up and sell to people.
Do you want your beer to be inclusive or bigoted? They're probably both owned by the same parent company anyway, so it's all the same to them.
