It's pretty insane. I was born in 1981, and near as I can tell, I'm likely a bit luckier than most other Americans my age because I grew up in such a sparsely populated, rural area. Still, there's no question that even people living in areas like me were impacted since most of the population drove old trucks, including my family.

It's crazy to think about having a lower IQ than I was capable of having for something that could have been solved a few decades previously.
