We need Dr. Luigi to help close the gap.
Coward. Do it yourself if you think it’s such a great idea.
That’s the issue isn’t it. Most in the U.S. don’t have the same gumption to get out there and get it done. It’s easier to have someone else do all the work. I am certainly not confident enough in myself to join any protests or riots. I’m too afraid of the consequences if or when it all goes wrong.
Good job, Rich.
Wow. It’s rare to see someone incorrectly use fewer instead of less.
Isn’t fewer the better choice in formal English because years is a countable plural noun?
It’s not. You can count years, but years are a unit of time and you can’t count time. Same thing with kilos or meters or liters or a bunch of other things.
It’s not a super strict rule that you can apply blindly anyway. Money is very much countable but it’s “less”.
it’s not
it is
years are a unit of time and you can’t count time
wtf lmfao
I have less money, because I have fewer dollars. I have less time to live than them, because I have fewer years left.
There are remedies to close that gap…
I know what you mean, but the bulk of the actual problem is that working class Americans can’t stop fucking killing themselves with stupid behavior. The leading causes of death are preventable. The thing you mean that you dare not simply come out and say because you value your liberty is living in a fantasy so that you don’t have to do the hard work of fixing reality.
You can’t truly believe rich people are just inherently better at not dying of heart disease or cancer.
Education (and learning) affects deaths of heart diseases and cancer. Say, my stupid, stupid dad during covid got ill (not with covid likely) and died from heart attack, because he was afraid to get infected by doctors (yes). Education also affects whether you become “poorer” or “richer”.
Heart diseases and cancer are affected by bad food habits, which are sometimes affected by executive dysfunction and addictive behavior, which also impede people from becoming “rich” directly.
And the longer you survive, the likelier you are to have successes yielding financial results.
So - maybe he doesn’t believe that, but I eagerly do, it just makes sense. Correlation is not causation.
It’s a lot better than the premise that murdering CEOs is going to improve the life expectancy of the working class. You just breeze by that, and then you stumble on my take?? People are looking for easy answers that don’t require they make any changes whatsoever. They’re begging for the intervention of some kind of savior, when the real answer is, “just stop killing yourself.”
This is a logical trick - the longer you live, the likely you get richer.
I understand everyone’s bias, but not why such pleasant to find moments are left ignored.
Not 1% rich, as the article says.
Years of being unable to afford preventative care, and insurance coverage denial for helpful procedures, mean the average person will die sooner. The lifespan of Americans is much lower, despite higher costs of healthcare, when compared against peer countries.
I bet there’s more plastic in poorer people as well.
both can be true
thats not how it works. with the super rich the shorter your parents life the sooner you become rich.

tldr. Man couldn’t afford to go to the doctor until he won the lottery.
7 years as of right now. It’s trending downward.
That can be corrected pretty quick.
Yes but they keep voting to have their lifespans cut.
Luigi Mangione was trying his best to close that gap.
