Interestingly, the other period of "flattening" was 1840-1860, just before the civil fun. I see this flattening out as the trend of severe conservatism I wonder if there was a particularly old generational cohort at the time, pushing conservatism at the time or was it wealthy interests clawing to power ?

I mean, we know this bucking conservatism's goal was to act as a bullwark for slavery until the blockage popped. And then we have the "gilded age" which is somehow even worse. I imagine as the aristocratic parasite classes shattered partly from war partly from being denied the blood of their slaves to feed their financial vampirism, it appears that a few survivors found themselves in a vacuum, able to digest the remaining wreckages of their peers and grow cancerously on industry, especially rail, oil and mining trusts.

I hope once we break the back of this vampiric wave, we continue taking our antibiotics and leave no billionaires behind, alive, don't stop the treatment until the financial cancer is BEYOND remission

Clinton, Bush, and Trump are all the same age. Horrifying statistic

It's only my entire life barring Obama

That’s when he goes back in time and gets that sports betting book.

You can’t handle the TRUTH!

For most of us, no truer words have ever been spoken.

He's there, listed twice

I believe the joke is that they just calculated "how old would they be now?". Ignoring death and all that...

Yes, they're all vampires

No ofc not, dont be ridiculous.

Thats why Washington is at around 290, the lifespan was 295.

Tragic they all died at the same time too, which is now

They did. It said so in the Bible.
