The average American has the same life expectancy as the worst part of England
"1 in 25 Americans being born will not make it to their 40th birthday."Wow. Actually impressed with the analysis backing this up. If you read the entire thread, he actually covers nearly every correlating factor I could think of.And it's pretty clearly drugs, guns, suicide, and cars. (The cardio health one doesn't seem as strong).The one that is crazy to me is the uptick in driving fatalities. Cars are an order of magnitude safer than they used to be and we were trending towards 0. An entire generation has to be that much more reckless than before to make that kind of a dent.
