What do you think of things like the changes to infant mortality or life expectancy between the industrial revolution and present day?

EG, my own oldest child needed a surgery at birth that would have been logistically impossible even 50 years ago. I'd say that she and I have benefited enormously, despite not being billionaires.

edit: I solemnly swear that the sibling comment with the strikingly similar "impossible 50 years ago" claim is a pure coincidence and that I at least am not a bot campaign. Haha.

I mean, i can assure you that I am not a bot either, but wouldn't a bot say that? :p

But yeah, quite a coincidence that we both chose 50 years :)
