Competition for 'high life' decimates human population

Contrary to historical records, the human population did not decline between 1200 and 1300 AD as a result of the plague.

In fact: An increase in the number of factories and resulting competition between humans for the high life decimated the population in the UK between 1200 and 1300.

It seems like 'You have a factory!? I'll KILL YOU!!!' would have been a commonly uttered phrase around this time...

  1. The fact that the Industrial Revolution didn't happen for another 600 years is beside the point! Bring on those conflict-invoking factories!

  2. I wonder what we would do without factories today...
