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.

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.
