"...Apparently, we can stop worrying about that. At least in America. The latest statistics show life expectancy in this country will drop for the third straight year. The last time that happened was reportedly 100 years ago, when we were in the middle of World War I and the worst flu pandemic in recorded history.

It’s not that our scientists have hit a wall. It’s not that new medicines aren’t working. In fact, for the rest of what we call the “developed world,” the numbers are going up.

But from sea to shining sea here in the U.S., they are dropping, largely due to what some have dubbed “the deaths of despair,” drug-related fatalities, liver cirrhosis (caused mostly by alcoholism), and suicide....

Aint that Obamacare great!
It is because of the less sex thing from the other thread.

Self inflicted wounds.......it's a tough nut to convince some people not to mentally go down the rabbit hole and ruin their lives......
