I’m shocked. I mean, given how Whitey is blamed day in and day out for all of injustice to mankind...

A big part of the problem with crackers is that too many take responsibility for their own situations (such as unemployment) even if it isn't really their fault.
Now, if the working class could just quietly go on the dole, sit on their stoops and smoke dope and do all those of certain other ethnicities, whom it isn't polite to name, do, then then this situation would reverse or, at least, get no worse than those other groups.

A steady diet of vilification will do that.

Obesity is the cause of the death rate rise. Obesity will save both Medicare and Social Security

Not to worry. The Federal government will get right on this problem.

Thanks for the link to the .pdf. Very helpful.
This will take some time to digest and I'm not yet convinced it is worth that process. It is written from an academic perspective. Shows a bias toward those who don't have higher education degree, and speaks of income redistribution as a policy to affect the higher death rate.
I skimmed it to the point where this was said:
“Our model for each outcome is then written as”
Followed by an equation filled with subscript and postscript making it difficult to accurately reproduce in HTML without resorting to embedding an image from appropriate publishing software.
It is one thing to study death rates and question why. It is quite another to decide to base policy decisions on an equation. And pretend to be empowered to dictate a solution.
Note: I have a degree, I respect it's value. I do not like the typical academic's perspective on how smart they are. I am more comfortable with business people who build things and do things.
These are “social scientists”.

The title could say, “Birth rates rise for a wide swath of white people post WWII”.
They’re called “baby boomers”...they’re now in their 70’s and 80’s...they’re now nearing their age of life expectancy.
It took a university to figure this out?

It’s a liberal group that put this out. No doubt the results were known for years but they waited until a Republican was president to publish.
