It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

This.

You can push it back to 1944 if you're in the US, the war wouldn't have impacted you much. You could even push it back to 1940, but there may be some depression era nutrition issues.

That bumps 2001 up to 57. Honestly go for a few more years and retire before '08 and die in 2019 before covid at age 75

Why die before COVID? COVID was honestly kinda okay, if you're a home body type. I played so many video games, it was glorious.

Being 75 puts you in the choking to death from covid range, no fun.

Looking at the stats, I'd take my chances.
