[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Expectations of our roles and the cost of everything has gone up.  Companies have downsized and workloads have increased, our commutes are longer, childcare is very expensive, buying a home is nearly impossible in some areas, the sport mentality in this country is beyond ridiculous - not every child is going to be an Olympian!, our parenting expectations - I could go on and on.  [b]Life isn't as easy and slow as it once was[/b].[/quote]

Yes, life isn't as easy and slow as it once was, in the good old days, for example the Great Depression, when 1 in 4 workers was unemployed, a lot of people had medical conditions related to malnutrition, life expectancy at birth was 58 for men and 62 for women due to high infant mortality, and millions of people left their homes.[/quote]

INteresting you bring up great depression - did you know that for poor white women, life expectancy has regressed from 20-25 years ago?[/quote]

Yes, life expectancy for white women who did not graduate from high school is now 73, which is still longer than the overall life expectancy for women in 1930.

Life may have been slower, but it wasn't easier.[/quote]
