  1. Tbh, this feels like a death of a thousand cuts situation where is not a single thing but a combination of big and small-ish factors like a more car-brained culture, higher obesity rates, a very poralized political environment (Don’t have a frame of reference but that must be stressful), the prevalence of fast food chains. a healthcare system that disincentivizes check-ups. etc. all of it compounds into a shorter life expentancy.

    Luckily Ozempic is the start to improving things,

    But have you considered that those Europeans are poorer and less productive than the average Mississippian, and therefore it’s better and more aspirational to be an American? *(insert snark about how Europeans are servile comfortable freeloaders… ironically of course, we’re not toxic American nationalists)*

    /S, that was this sub a while back.

    Cars, guns and drugs.

    Even obesity, which is the most popular reason, can be grouped under cars.

    Okay, but have you considered how terrible it is to sHArE WaLLs? That’s why I live in a car-dependent exurb and sit in the ChikFilA drive-thru in my F150 every morning for the Coke in the styro with the good ice.
