We live longer and longer, retirement age is something that needs to be adjusted with the human lifespan.

I think it has more to do with the baby boom right after 1945. If those older people retire, there isn’t enough younger generation to support them, so more people need to work longer, so we don’t get too many retired people all at once.

I think it’s more of a “can we support the retired” kind of issue - not just “muh money”. It’s a little more nuanced than that.

they were older then me at the time.

The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).

It’s what clocks are “supposed” to be set at

Even better for us Dutchies: CEST shifts us one hour, but our timezone is the same as the rest of the mainland, but technically we’re inside the UTC zone, so we’re actually shifted 2 hours from where we’re supposed to be!

Fuck the economy, I want our times fixed, so we can sleep better!

I wasn’t sure if you were joking, but nope: https://newsroom.heart.org/news/heres-your-wake-up-call-daylight-saving-time-may-impact-your-heart-health

That’s a nice sentiment, dear, but people still need to be able to get to work to survive.

Domestic violence is a huge issue, and women are more likely to suffer from it!

Yes and yes.

and scientifically literate readers won’t dismiss your credibility along with your cause.

No. If you care about women’s lives, you’ll focus on cancer instead.

Homocide per 100k capita of women (summed the separate numbers on page 9, worldwide): 7.4

Deaths per 100k capita of women just in the USA (listed under “Sex and Race/Ethnicity”): 126

Here’s your headline: Women are 1602.70% more likely to die of cancer, than of homicide at home!!!

Now… Homicide bad. very bad. Homicide very bad (self-defence does obviously not count). But compared to some other numbers that are also bad, maybe homicide relatively not that bad.
