Be glad we’re not the horses. The glue factory might be coming next.

Not the best analogy. The glue factory was a thing while horses were a primary tool for transport and heavy labour. And horses were treated appallingly. Now that they’ve been made redundant, living standards for horses have improved dramatically and the glue factory is long gone (though their population has also reduced significantly).

We can only hope for a similar outcome for ourselves.

Before the car there were three to four people per horse

There are currently about 140 people per horse.

So if you want to cheer on taking the world population from 8.6 billion to about 188 million, treating us better, I can’t say I’m a big fan.
