In 1900, nearly 20% of US children died before 5th birthday & infant mortality rate was 16%. My Dad was baby of his family, born in 1926. 2 brothers had died before 2nd birthdays, most likely Rotavirus, who Dad never knew. As Fam Med MD with 40yrs experience, thanks to Vaxx, infant deaths...rare.

I had an Aussie romance while I was over there. Young love. I was 16. Nearly 40yrs later we’re still friends. She’s probably one of my longest lasting relationships. Shes still over there. I’m still here.

Ppl (who’ve known Trumps for generations pre-16 election) warned Donald’s deviant but NOT smart. Netanyahu tried over 40yrs to get US military/money to destroy neighboring nemesis Iran. Problem for everyone is that Trump’s a fake/fraud/failure. Trump can’t solve problems; he creates them!

My dad's brother went to kindergarten and came back on the first day and said he wasn't going back. Parents said he had to go until he was 16. The day of his 16th bd he dropped out. Spent the next 40yrs working in a women's swimsuit factory.

40yrs old and my personal growth from 16-22 was a LITTLE bit better than the worst line on this graph. After that I nosedived to the x axis along w/ most of my friends. Contrary to boomer ‘common knowledge’ surviving in the real world tends to shed silly libertarianism and fascist power fantasies
