The average is being skewed downward by the drug OD deaths among younger men (mainly) thanks in part to our open border, but those who live clean are still likely statistically to live into their 70’s and beyond.
A common co-morbidity of many diseases from covid to diabetes to pneumonia is obesity. Both Black, white and Hispanic Americans are obese. Both men and women are obese. Both R and D are obese.
We can’t blame anyone but ourselves.
There are specific subgroups that are not so obese. Seventh Day Adventists come to mind. They have a healthy life style.
Primarily Alcohol but also legal and illegal drugs, promiscuous sex are another grouping. Alcohol and car deaths, alcohol and crime deaths, alcolhol and stupidity deaths and on and on. Whereas obesity kills people in their 50s and beyond, alcohol (and equivalent drugs) kill many their teens,20s and 30s.
Without accepting these two facts, we cannot change longevity.
Fetanyl is killing 175 people EVERY day. Then there’s the legalization and decriminalization of recreational drug use. Double digit increases in homicide rates are another factor. All of these causes hit hard on the youngest of society. They heavily skew downwards the overall life expectancy.
Have these genius’ factored in the 20 million illegals Biden and the Marxist Dems have let into the Country?
