Now that the illusions that men can birth babies has crumbled, the extend of the damage can start to be assessed (#'s are order of magnitude) from my top 5:
1. >50% of adults are illiterate (can only read sports page) & are innumerate (they can't figure out that 3% in 30 years doubles the price, but 18% only 4 years [rule of 72])
2. >50% of US is obese
3. >70% 18 y.o.'s unfit for military
4. Americans lost 2 years in predicted lifespan over the last 4 years
5. The average American spends only 1 healthy birthday after age 65
This is not something reversible in a year or two!
