If you pull out their rates of assault where they don't die, the job starts sounding a lot more dangerous, even if a lot of those "assaults" are bullshit.

Being a cop is genuinely dangerous, and the fact that it's not in the top ten most fatal jobs doesn't make it safe any more than Scottie Pippen not being one of the top ten greatest basketball players of all time makes him a mediocre player.

Certainly not interested in hearing somebody wail about it.

People here are definitely claiming exactly that--that yields aren't really higher, we're just charging more for food.

Leaving that aside, crop yields, by weight, have doubled or tripled for a bunch of food staples in the time frame of this chart, and this chart also shows land used for agriculture going up for most of the run.

People are definitely claiming it's just price increases/cash value and that production hasn't actually gone up.

Crop yields really are going up, promise

People are so hellbent on this being untrue, and I don't get it. Your other problems will still be there for you even if this one is better than you thought.

The dollar amounts are in constant dollars. It's already inflation adjusted. The world is producing more food per hectare of farmland.

The world has added 4 billion additional people over the time period of this chart, and in that same time the amount of hunger-affected people has gone down. There is no way that is possible unless we are actually producing more physical things on that land.
