It’s becoming increasingly hard for myself and my family to survive in this economy. Myself and my family are teetering in the edge. I hope there’s some relief soon. I lost my job back in 2021 and went I to business for myself. 5 years ago under Trump’s economy I think I could survive and grow without a problem. Now… a trip to the grocery store costs $500 and running up cards left and right because our two incomes combined still isn’t enough. That doesn’t even touch on all the other things like our healthcare going up etc. 3 kids… I am praying people will make their moves soon to take this thing back and get it under control. I don’t know how much time I have left. I wish there was a relief opportunity for those of us who know and trust the plan to get by until it’s fixed. LoL
It’s becoming next to impossible for myself and my family to survive.

Wasn’t life expectancy for males somewhere around 30?
In some instances. But controlling history is a good way to control the narrative. They pretend things are only getting better and our past was dark. That way we are grateful to "advances" in science and technology.
Noah lived to be 950 yrs old, what happened?
DNA degradation over time is one theory
Another theory is that Noah didn't exist.
I've always wondered what kind of calendars they used in Noah's time and exactly how long one of their "years" was.
They weren't using the same calendar as us, you know. The Gregorian calendar, which is what we use, was created in 1582.
And all the different countries all over the world have used different calendars of their own throughout the years.
We sometimes need to remember that not everything has existed as we know it today, and that includes how people mark the passage of time.
The Israelites used a lunar calendar.
This Messianic Jewish website refers to it as a lunisolar calendar, as there is an extra month added to the calendar every seven out of 19 years to keep it in sync with the sun.

I'm thinking land of milk and honey plus animal organs, structured water minus pollution, emf and overall bullshit.
Yeah they kept a running data base of everyone and recorded when people were born and when they died across the entire world.
The entire people used to die at 40 thing is so simplified and full of problems it's not even funny.
I've heard that childhood deaths skewed the results way down. So if you lived passed infant/toddlerhood, you lived a lot longer than 40. Dunno if that's true. Like you said, they kept a running data base, hah!
It's that caveman-dumb mentality. We are so much "smarter" we think than the ancient civilizations. I think we're the morons.
Sanitation, hunting with primitive weapons, hostile outsiders/roaming opportunists, lack of variety in diet, and early western medicine all led to early deaths. Our history is skewed towards everyone believing that people only lived to 30's and 40's. People don't even question it, even when the know about the most famous of elders in history. You'll get this sense of everyone dying young from highly educated people even when they know of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. These are just a couple of the most famous people that lived full lives to the point of being elderly. These are just the few that everyone knows about, however there are a large number of greeks that have well documented lifespans. In China and Japan, there are large numbers of historical texts that describe the ages of some of their more well-known persons. It wasn't until the dark ages that young death was far more common because of the Church, Aristocracy and large population centers. American Indians don't have quite the written record, but it was common for both men and women to live until their 60's and then they started to decline in physical health. The plains Indians were for less forgiving of the elder frailty than non-nomadic tribes. All of this has to take into account the people that died due to unnatural causes, which is probably a quite significant factor in the well known fallacy of extremely short lifespans. In addition, infant mortality and childhood deaths probably have further skewed the statistics.
I believe they are referring to an AVERAGE.
Should find the mode.
Tbh with you even if it’s true that it was around 30 I’m not even mad. Life is too fucking hard to live for long, as a male not born into any privilege.
Both of my grandmothers kept very detailed family histories and did a lot of research going back hundreds of years. Most of my ancestors not killed in wars or by diesase (or died in childhood) lived to be in their 90s, and even some well into their 100s. And they were all ordinary people, not elites, from different backgrounds (some were in Europe, some were in America from very early on, some were Native American). I wonder how much that was the norm, and we just don't know about it because the average is skewed by infant mortality, war, and deaths in childbirth.
Your knowledge of the facts of life in times past is making it difficult to make you follow the narrative that we all are doing better because we are now more advanced and intelligent than the previous generations. Anyone that has done a genealogical family tree has the dates of birth and death going back multiple generations, sometimes for a thousand years. The funny thing is that most people don't have the awareness to note how long the people of each generation lived. Kudos to you!
Fun activity...find the oldest cemetery in your area, and walk around and take note of the birth and death dates. I bet you'll find a lot of people who lived to very old age there.
Yup. My relatives, hard lives, poor, farm people lived way into their 90’s.
Thats because most were sent off to war to die by age 22, the elites lived to be 50-60 thus making the mean average around 30
I think that was thenlife expectancy around the middle ages. They included babies that were still born or miscarriages. If you exclude that group, life expectancy is about what it is now actually.
