I'd imagine that stat was heavily skewed by high infant mortality rates.
It was and has always made simple life expectancy an iffy metric. The life expectancy of people who reach adult age is a better comparison point but not that easy to find.
Add to that childhood diseases that we vaccinate for and you have a lot of things that skew the numbers then vs now.

They’d probably be shocked that another Constitutional Convention hasn’t been called

To put it in perspective life expectancy in 1776 was only about 38 years for your average male. So these dude were mid life.

Don’t sleep on us. I have a lot of friends that know exactly what is going on. 20 something year olds that know more than y’all do. We have a lot of figs in our generation but I think things will get better

Mosquitos carrying diseases and refrigeration. Don’t need refrigeration as bad where it stays cool.

Right.
Most of today's "20 something year olds" couldn't pick out Great Britain on a globe or make change,
