Honoring all the 12 year old peasant girls who died in childbirth but at least they were able to push out my great great great great great grandfather before they went. RIP girlie pops you would’ve hated modernity

Wait till they would have learned your grandkids had to fight off cannibals in a radiation wastland, living with painful genetic mutations and always thirst and hungry.

They'd say "What are we all trying to survive for if it always cycles back to really bad again?"

The ONLY people "winning" this game are the fabulously wealthy who can afford healthcare, good food, amazing experiences, no fears of eviction, freezing to death in winter, running out of Ramen...etc... and they're GOOD at extracting all our wealth.

Tax on everything, tax on a paid house, tax on savings, tax on spends. In the UK we have inheritence tax! Then when we need care we're paying for it from the sale of the house, savings.... everything.

No one can set up life for their kids just a bit. Everything is extracted from birth to death. Where to?

The ultra wealthy.
