    Ehh not exactly. Yes infant mortality would skew the data a bit, but modern medicine, along with modern agriculture has definitely increased the average life expectancy by a sizable portion.

    Nowadays, people don’t have to worry about food stockpiles and periods of shortages. Malnutrition was definitely a big issue back then. Especially with things like baby food being present, which was a big factor in reducing baby death rates

    Modern medicine such as vaccines, surgeries, supplements, and even basic hygiene has made wonders for the average health of a person. Things that would normally kill a person, like bacteria infecting a wound, nowadays is mostly recoverable and minor.

    If you look back even just a century, life expectancy was a lot lower than the present. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1040079/life-expectancy-united-states-all-time/

    For Seattle, my experience is that most of the people are there for tech work. Those folks could have been working anywhere from “just came to this city” or “have been working for 10+ years”.

    There’s not that many tourists, the few ones that come visit mostly congregate in pike place and around the space needle.


  • The solo aspect is honestly really impressive. I’ve done my fair share of game dev and tried all sorts of roles. I am definitely not a jack of all trades though. I cannot for the life of me understand music. Last time I tried music, I made a 10s long audio that sounded mediocre and doesn’t even loop properly.

    ._. I never said I supported the stock market, just that the stock market collapse will affect a lot of people.

    If I had it my way, companies should never be public. Lots of current day issues are because public companies act upon shareholder whims and thus cause the worst of modern day societies

    I’d love to have pensions also be reintroduced in companies, but they’ve essentially been all phased out by lobbying for 401ks and IRAs instead.

    It depends on the person’s age group, if they just hit retirement and the stock market collapses, then they’d feel the pain the most. It could mean delaying their retirement by years.

    Younger people on the other hand usually bounce back, unless of course there are other circumstances like war.
