Rising drug and alcohol overdoses, suicides, and disease from chronic alcoholism labeled deaths of despair by one expert are cutting the lives of white Americans short by nearly a half a year on average.
Increases in these types of deaths among whites means that life expectancy for whites is not increasing as fast as it is for other groups, according to a government report that offers an unusual look at how different threats are affecting U.S. lifespans.
Things are moving in the wrong direction, said Anne Case, a Princeton University researcher, of what she calls deaths of despair. [

Though the gap is closing, white life expectancy is still significantly greater than life expectancy for blacks.

We’ll see how ecstatic the left is when the anger of this country boils over and they’re hunted like animals.

What the hell is wrong with these white people? Don’t they know they have white privilege? They should all be doing cartwheels.

Don’t give a crap what people think about or because of race and you’re already ahead in the game.

Drag life expectancy.

The following is the best answer so far.

Open Source Ecologyhttp://opensourceecology.org/

It's not a popular answer in politics, because most local NIMBYs and regulators supported by their government-derived incomes don't want any real, productive work happening under their surveillance.

Will we be limited by the number of tags we are allocated or is it a free for all?
To: Olog-hai
Don’t let the bipartisan, socialist political folks class waste your time and efforts with racial issues. Depose them by calling endlessly for spending cuts, especially cuts in federal pork to state and local governments. Call endlessly to abolish regulations against building and making products on your own properties. Do what is right and productive despite unconstitutional laws. Don’t feed the monster by spending unnecessarily.

You might not be interested in race but race is interested in you.
