    Give me a break. How about the people having kids in:

    • -900,000: Whatever happened to kill off almost all humans
    • -1177: Bronze Age collapse
    • 535: Volcanic winter of 536
    • 1347-1351: Black Death
    • 1914-1918: WWI and Spanish Flu
    • 1929-1939: Great Depression and Dust Bowl
    • 1962: Great Leap Forward
    • 1943-1945: Worst killings and bombings of WWII
    • 2020: For our lifetimes. COVID and 100 other disasters. So bad most have forgotten it started with Australia burning to the ground, 1 billion animals killed.

    As to racism, we watched Mississippi Burning last night. My wife isn’t from America and was horrified. “Honey, that was happening when our parents were kids.”
