It's never not bonkers that human life expectancy was ~34 in 1870 and then* someone was like "maybe water should be clean" and someone else was like "let's…wash our hands?" and someone else was like "vaccines tho!" and someone else was like "uh, mold kills bacteria?" and now we mostly live past 70.

COMMENTARY: Gov. Jared Polis (D) removed a standard line from Tina Peters' clemency letter which reads: "I believe you will be successful upon your release." If Peters is successful in helping President Trump overthrow American elections, that will be Polis' legacy.
