"The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is not just an economic issue, it is literally a matter of life and death," said Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
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.
Those with investments and other preparations in place to retire comfortably and still make money somehow are only a fraction of the population. Not everyone’s a business owner, invested in the stock market in time, has a savings account, got an inheritance, owns their own house, or lives debt free, etc. There’s a chasm between the haves and the have-nots that is only getting wider and accelerating in the USA.
I was trying to say causality goes both ways between “being rich” and “living longer”.
Of course there is a chasm. There are also mass murders of towns and villages on the Syrian coast right now, with the EU having reacted swiftly by condemning the victims, and the US having reacted only in words and proceeding to bomb Yemeni houthis with means more than enough to stop those mass murders.
There are storms, and there are still times, and there are times of abundance and of hunger.
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.
