We are fucked

Was this a veiled message abut not being well?

In 2025 anything is possible it is super weird times

Let's just say the 2020's started out bad with Covid-19 and things are not much better.

WHAT?

Why am I dealing with folks who think we’re living in the worst times ever.
Let’s set the record straight with a quick look at life 50,100, 250, and 1,000 years ago compared to today.
TLDR:
Today beats the past hands down.
We’ve got tech, health, and comfort people back then couldn’t dream of.
Problems exist, sure, but history was way harsher.




50 years ago (1974)
No internet, smartphones, or social media—communication was slow, relying on landlines and snail mail. Entertainment was limited to TV, radio, and physical media like vinyl records and cassettes. Travel was more expensive and less convenient, with no online booking systems. Medicine was less advanced—polio was still a threat, cancer treatments were basic, and life expectancy was lower (around 70 in the U.S.). Socially, it was a time of change with civil rights and gender equality movements gaining momentum, but global awareness and connectivity were minimal compared to today’s instant access to information and global networks.

100 years ago (1924)
No PHONES! Medicine was basic—antibiotics were new, so infections could kill you. Travel was slow (cars and planes were rare luxuries. Ford created the Model A, in 1903. I used to have one. Had to crank to start it, and could not drive up steep hills on half a tank of gas, unless I drove in reverse.), and communication was snail mail or telegrams. Life expectancy? Around 60 if you dodged disease.

150 years ago (1774)
Most people were farmers, slaving away with no electricity or plumbing. Medicine? Think leeches and no anesthesia. Smallpox and other diseases were everywhere. Travel took weeks by horse. Life expectancy: 35-40, with half your kids dying young. AND you had to try to have a bunch of kids, to get a few to live, and several wives, because they died often, too.

1,000 years ago (1024)
Middle Ages. No sanitation—waste in the streets. Medicine was prayers and herbs. Wars, plagues, and famine were constant. Travel? Rare and risky. Most folks never left their village. Life expectancy: Around 30. You’re ancient at 40.

Today
Instant global communication via internet and smartphones. Medicine wipes out diseases that used to kill millions—vaccines, antibiotics, you name it. Travel? Fly anywhere in hours. More rights, endless entertainment, better living standards. Life expectancy: Over 70 globally.

Chill—we are living in the best era yet! enjoy it and stop bitching.
