Comparing the world before 1900, to today
Most people have very romantic ideas about the past. When my father was a kid, there were 3 cars in the entire part of the town he lived in. My Grandfather produced Windows and every time he had one finished, he shouldered those huge windows and transported it by bicycle into the city which was a multi-hour ride. Life was hard and that’s not even 100 years ago. People also don’t know that it was coal that saved our forests. Before coal, we burned our forests.
