We are living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year. Homo sapiens live longer lifespans than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history. This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars. The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

You guys have pretty strict regulations regarding emissions on older cars over there right? Could swear I saw a Tom Scott video on the subject or something.

I'm surprised it's that much lower though, given at least the general perception around the reliability of American vs German cars. Wonder how much brands like Honda and Toyota are offsetting that.
