Would You Want To Live To Be 180?

We all wish we could live longer. But how long do you want to live for? How about 180-years-old? Is that too old?

Researchers at U.C. San Diego might have figured out a way to extend our lifespan by about 80%! How you ask? They haven’t done studies on actual people but they figure out what makes us age and figured a way to age less!

They say our bodies age because our cells break down. The mitochondria in our building gets weak and that cause our DNA to become more fragile or less stable. They figured a way to trick them to not break down. They said they can rewire our yeast cells so it alternates, causing us to age less quick.

U.C. San Diego found that when each one got breaks, it slowed down the aging process. They discovered the yeast cells ended up living 82% longer!

As of now, they’re just saying it’s a “proof-of-concept” at the moment. But they’re saying gene therapy can most definitely work on humans as well.

So is this whole thing safe to do? Or would you just rather live a normal life?

Looks Like We Haven't Seen The End Of People Moving To Las Vegas

For Las Vegas locals, it’s hard to imagine even more people moving into our city than what we have currently seen. With concerns like water shortages, increased crime, and roads not wide enough to handle the crowds, many locals are saying “enough already”. Our city seems to be growing at a rate faster than our infrastructure can keep up with. The last thing it seems we need is even more people moving in, at least before we can expand our resources.

But more people moving to Las Vegas appears to be the reality of the situation.

Penske Truck Rental, known for its fleet of moving trucks and vans, released its Top 10 list this week. The list reveals the cities that received the most inbound one-way moving truck rentals in 2022. For the second year in a row, Las Vegas has been in the top 3 on that list. Along with Houston, which also kept its top spot.

Penske’s list also mentioned the potential reasons why people might be relocating to place like Las Vegas and Houston. One major reason is that people are looking for warmer climates to live in. Which seems surprising, since we’re always hearing about global warming and how things are inevitably going to get warmer everywhere.

Another reason could be the sudden growth of sports venues we are getting in Las Vegas. We got our professional hockey team, the Vegas Golden Knights, in 2017. Then the Las Vegas Raiders moved in in 2020. Now we just got the confirmation that we’re acquiring the Oakland A’s.

And of course, the lack of a state tax is desirable for many people. In spite of the fact that we are a hair above average in cost of living, not having to shell out an extra tax every April is very appealing, especially for those in the higher tax brackets.

The thing that’s got most locals on edge though, is that moving to Las Vegas might be a trend. Since our city kept its top spot on the list for two years in a row, it’s possible it’s going to stay there and even more people will be coming this year. Time will tell.

You can see from this list where Las Vegas lands compared to the other states in the top 10, and what might be drawing people to each city. – Wendy Rush
