There's a very interesting myth that many people seem to believe, which is that the US is doing badly on life expectancy due primarily to chronic disease.
This is broadly untrue. Rather, America and most of the OECD have similar issues with diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.

America is the SICKEST nation in the developed world with the lowest life expectancy (used to be the highest)! Chronic Disease is the NUMBER ONE medical expense in the country. You need wake up.

Seems to me the balancing act is between standing up to Russia and humiliating them.
He most likely will not use WMD in the case of the former…..but do we know that’s definitely the case with the latter?

President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday lowered Russia’s threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. The timing appeared designed to show the country could respond aggressively to Ukrainian strikes on their territory with U.S. long-range missiles.
Putin Lowers Nuclear Weapons Threshold After U.S. Allows Ukraine to Use Missiles Against Russia
A decree signed by the Russian leader, though long-planned, came days after President Biden authorized the use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine for strikes inside Russia.

@who-global.bsky.social have a metric called Years of Life Lost. I used @eu-eurostat.extwitter.link data to estimate #pandemic related excess for Western Europe:
Results are *interesting*!

I have signed up here. I am not sure about social media being divided into separate platforms for right and left. But the time has come to be prepared. I am not cancelling X just now.

Afternoon all!
Politics/current/science affairs starter packs welcome. Bit concerned this place is going to be the left leaning counterpart to X's right.
