#13 I guess despair is not a plan either.

It's not a plan, it's a lifestyle!

These whiny-ass millennials and their global warming...
Why back in my day, we had overpopulation, famine, pestilence, resource depletion, the coming ice age, and nuclear war. It was Apocalypse coming and going, uphill both ways. We were doomed, DOOMED I tell ya!

Determining why none of this unavoidable awfulness ever happened and why there are more people today living richer, longer, healthier lives is left as an exercise for the Reader.
