    I hate headlines like this. The population is increasing, no shit ‘more people than ever before have XYZ.’ That’s because there’s more people now overall. Use the percentage or ratios of different times so you don’t look like you failed math.

    I also bet there were less people starving to death 200 years ago. Because there were less people across the board you ignominious Muppets.
