More Lost Americans
Over at a financial forum...
Rexx - Naybob /Lost Americans – now happening to lower-middle class whites, so maybe found soon. Or maybe not.
Why is the Death Rate Rising among Middle Aged White Americans?
Rexx – Lost Americans – it you have not already, go to the link in my missive The Lost Americans and download Case and Deatons study which is also referenced in New Yorker piece you linked to. A real eye opener that makes one want to projectile vomit whenever they hear or read the MSM narrative of aging and secular stagnation - anyone who buys into that Orwellian tripe needs to commit themselves to an asylum
What that New Yorker piece linked neglects – If it was an increase in the population of that demographic, as the piece attempts to suggest, or the secular aging and stagnation of MSM narrative then how does one explain this?
All-cause mortality rates for white non-Hispanics aged 65–74 continued to fall at 2% per year from 1999 to 2013; there were similar declines in all other racial and ethnic groups aged 65–74. The mortality decline for white non-Hispanics aged 55–59 (the next bracket up from 45-54) also slowed, declining only 0.5% per year over this period.
Even Gelman who dissented on the original study wrote: “I agree with Case and Deaton on the main point,” he notes. And he goes on: “the change compared to other countries and groups is huge.” In the same New Yorker piece Douthat also suggests, "the members of this group may have lost their “sense of meaning and purpose,” making them more apt to succumb to drug addiction, alcoholism, and other diseases." And there you have it. Out.
