Wow... underpay (more) a collective that saves lives and make them work like a door dasher, not even knowing where they're gonna work that day.
I wonder what could go wrong with this...
The US speedrunning taking lifespan to 18th century levels.
Well, I guess it's a way to solve the issue of an aging population?
I was just reflecting that the next generation we may start to see average height drop and other interesting effects. With our diet, I've been starting to wonder. I think we really started geoff track with the deregulation in the eighties and we've certainly ballooned since then. Honestly, we've gotten so fat that it's spilling over into Mexico and Canada.
It's too bad that you probably can't get real numbers to compare our health system to other nations, in a kind of day to day.
But these broad demographic changes we may be able to see. I think infant mortality is already way up.
But, yeah, think of COVID. Our leadership is addressing the aging population issue. Instead of focusing on a national plan to take care of the poor boomers (a lot of rich, but a lot of poor too. There's justl a bunch of them). We were focused on opening up restaurants.
Honestly, that may be a lot of Republican opposition to healthcare. They know they failed a generation, and that it was going to be worse for them later.
