I think he means that your average person at a bar would be in his 20's, so if you subtract 15 years you'd just end up as a child or teenager. You'd have to be at least 33 years old for it to be a story about adults.

This is the way

Actually they tried the normal way, where they didn't shoot and asked the poachers to surrender / tried to arrest them. But the rangers would get shot and the animals would continue to get poached.

Seeing this as a problem, a new executive order / law was passed allowing shoot at sight orders at national parks / protected zones.

Poaching has reduced, the number of rangers getting shot has reduced. The number of poachers getting shot has reduced (they don't wanna fuck around anymore).

Overall it has increased peace.

Lemmy might, MIGHT have a small bias towards the left

That's an extremely narrow view point I'd say. In my country the government promotes the growth of existing big corporations so that there can be more jobs and infrastructure development - but this has in the end lead to a widening of gap and has essentially only made the rich even richer.

I genuinely believe promoting start ups is better for the middle class than big corporations, as usually startups pay a crazy amount of money if you ask for it compared to what a big rich corpo would give you (ironically).

India isn't, it's a 3 trillion economy for a billion plus people. Per capita that's very low. India recently did a lot of expeditions to try and find oil but had no luck. There are a lot of spices (which were just stolen for years by colonial powers) but the value of those has reduced compared to newer technologies like semiconductors.

China has just become rich recently, there should be a decline / easing of pressure on people in the next few years / decades.

I mean the joke wouldn't work anyway, everyone would know the girl just gave a fake number or is pranking. The intended "ghost" effect is just inside OPs head.
