Are you implying being poor is due to unwise decision making. Shame on you, being poor is all about da man, silly commie.

Hunter gatherer life was actually pretty sweet. Low population density kept rates of disease pretty low and there was usually enough food around that it didn't take more than 4 hours of work per day to stay fed. Shame about the occasional bouts of starvation and warfare that were needed to keep the population sufficiently low, but overall I think that life was OK right before farming kicked in then there were a few thousand years of peasantry. That sucked
For instance there was a serious lack of entertainment media. Hell you couldn't even read a book
Probably even worse, the lack of birth control combined with a high rate of infant mortality was probably a real continual downer too. Not fun being a parent who has to bury most of their kids.Comment
