Have more babies though.
Your owners need your kids to be exploited into an early, miserable grave to run up their nepo kid's ego scores. The doting ones at least, the owners toss kids that don't become little nepo clones of themselves as bad investments.
Luxury climate bunkers are boring, are you really going to deprive a future billionaire child that matters the joy of watching line go up powered by your worthless peasant offspring's life force, you monster?
Maybe stop being so selfish and think about what you can do to further enrich your betters. Priorities, my fellow batteries, priorities!

United states is ranked 48. And they claim to have th best healthcare in the world.
Obviously that's not true, they may have one of the best for the very rich. But on average it's VERY bad.
Food standards are also bad, so again it's only if you are doing well that you can afford healthy food.
The countries surrounding USA on this list have about a third the wealth per capita!!!
Man, that table is wild. South Africa has a lower life expectancy than Afghanistan and in Russia women live 12 years longer than men? Bonkers.
I'm guessing women don't get drafted for special operations in Ukraine
Yes I didn't even notice the South Africa thing. I would have thought they did better?
Way above them are Uganda, Rwanda and Ethiopia, all countries that has had very serious problems and I though were way poorer?
It's probably due to HIV rates.
Yes, that's stated as reason #1:
