There's no good old days it was tough and hard times with shortages of food mostly all over the world with only the rich having a better time but they still had to contend with lots of different diseases without much knowledge or suitable treatments to help out, we are living in golden times soon to be brought to a crunching halt by global warming/climate change, we are grossly over populated overall on Earth. NZ should do alright in the short term, that's why I'm here. Same as Thiel really except I'm almost broke. He's got a nice little hidey hole somewhere around Queenstown I believe, paid $5,000,000 to the Government to get citizenship instantly I believe.
