The Preston curve in the US has been shifting downwards. I've never seen that before. Very troubling.
These curves describe the relationship between longevity and income in U.S. states.

Historically these curves have shifted up. In the U.S., the 2019 curve lies *fully below* the 2010. That is shocking.

Whatever we are doing now may only entrench this concerning pattern.
