Covid deaths really didn't help, but y'all stopped increasing around 2010. Life expectancy in every other developed country is steadily increasing.

And yes, I think that the life expectancy of the 1% is around 5 years higher than the filthy casuals. Edit: make that 15

15 and growing due to healthcare. The wealthier they are the bigger the gap. Warren Buffet and Rupert Murdoch are both over 90 and still working.

Before jumping off the deepend of obvious problems America has, it’s important to compare the relative life expectancy dip of other countries to determine the change pandemic life (a somewhat controlled variable) had on that life expectancy.

Did European countries see a similar dip?

Many of the items you described were also problems before the pandemic, so it doesn’t exactly explain the dip. It would be curious to find if other countries saw a dip as well, or the size of their dip.

The article does attribute the dip to drug overdoses and Covid, mainly.

A lot of the rich people I know drink so much I'm not sure about that. If everyday is Saturday you don't make the best health choices.
