In 2011, the Heritage Foundation produced a report on US Poverty using the annual US Census Report on Poverty as a source. The quick quote from this is "The typical “poor” American lives in an air-conditioned house or apartment and has cable TV, a car, multiple color TVs, a DVD player, and a VCR among other conveniences." A significant mention in this report is that "Some 96 percent of poor parents report their children were never hungry at any time in the prior year." Now this gives us a very bare and basic basis to compare abilities but even subtracting technologies for comparable abilities is instructive!
Louis XIV had choices in food far beyond any of his subjects but even a poverty-level American has an incredibly larger and more healthy selection on a 24-hour basis! Louis XIV had choices in travel by coach (shake, rattle & roll) or by horseback which means travel times in days. Public transportation by bus or rail would put Louis in ecstasy (private car please) let alone the private automobile for hundreds of miles per day! Entertainment is a SIGNIFICANTLY BIG difference! Louis XIV had court musicians and royal composers but even with these there was a limited repertoire available. A subscription to any of the streaming music apps has more music than Louis XVI heard in his entire lifetime, EVEN IF YOU LIMIT IT TO MUSIC COMPOSED BEFORE AND DURING HIS LIFETIME! Add to this that a modern American can listen & fall asleep to an orchestra or a pop band without them even being in the room!
Endless more can be added on vaccinations and other health issues as well as easy access to information and history. In all regards except for public adulation and the ability of an absolute monarch to 'dispose' of deplorables, the impoverished American hsa it all over this Sun King, Louis XVI!
For modern dentistry alone, and a fast food hamburger, King Louis XIV would happily trade places with any one of us!
