[–] 2 points 4 months ago* (2 children)

Considering some of Europe started adopting some form of universal healthcare in the 1940s, that's ~8 decades and counting, just for that one milestone of modern civilization.

We cant even get away from lead waterpipes and asbestos schools.

There are starving children in Africa* with better access to healthcare, clean water, and an education.

Oh, and internet.

* By American definition of "starving", so like, ~1800kcal per day.

    But like, there is starvation in Africa. I am being pedantic, but it's worth not forgetting about the current Sudan situation.

    There's starvation in America, too.

    Maybe the 80s were more prosperous, but that's what our parents would tell us millenials when we were kids who didn't finish their dinner. We also sat Indian-style and played Chinese Kickball. It was a different time.

    But kids today, we may as well just tell them that there are starving kids in their classroom...because there more than likely are.
