tl;dr It's a weak article. In summary, "Look how wealthy and prosperous we all are compared to the past, society is amazing, technology is amazing. If you are struggling economically/socially/culturally that's on you, the competition is too tough."

I would say it's disingenuous and mocking in sort of a limp way, but I think the author hasn't spent enough time outside or working a "regular-paying" job in a non-central economic region to accurately represent reality.
