minus-squareKrono@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoDepends how you measure “safety”. Here in the US life expectancy is declining. I can’t afford a home, healthcare, or retirement. My parents generation could. Climate change is doing significant damage, and it’s just getting started. But yeah, I’m less likely to be murdered. I got that going for me, which is nice.
