Just over 100 years ago, life expectancy was ~45 years in the Americas. Its somewhere in the high 70s now.

5) GDP per capita, wowwww

Sooooo…. pretty much Industrial Revolution ~1760-1840s (Wikepedia) and then how much we were making per person skyrocketed. Already adjusted for inflation, that’s nuts.

6) A banger

Mighta already shared this song but it’s so good so sharing again.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My name is Colin and I like to ramble about life. My mom tells me I’m special and I think the Officials are starting to believe her. I like reading (mostly picture books) and telling people they’re wrong. If you figure this life thing out, pls let me know, it’s a toughie.

You can hear me talk (read?) more about myself here.
