New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich
New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich | Common Dreams
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.

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.
Well obviously, once we retire our lives no longer have value.
The closer retirement age and death are the better it is for the economy; at its most efficient we'd work until the day we die at 60.
I mean, no. Entire industries are founded on retirement money being spent. They want people to save 401ks, no pensions. And then die as soon as they run out of money or start costing the state anything
But wouldn't it be better for them if we die and our children cash out their parents' retirement savings to put it into the economy immediately? Think of how much economic activity is generated when a 30 year old inherits two $500,000 accounta from their dead parents!
Yes but they keep voting to have their lifespans cut.
Not me.... ffs, they should speak for themselves
Good job, Rich.
Luigi Mangione was trying his best to close that gap.
For fuck's sake please stop robbing this man of his presumption of innocence.
I'm not on the jury.
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?
Surprised it's only 7 tbh.
Fuck words. If newsmax thinks otherwise this is worthless…
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.
