There is a wide disparity between ethnic groups in the U.S. as well as gender. For example, an Asian woman is expected to live to 85.6, while for a Black man, the figure is 66.7 years.
Almost 20 fucking years! That’s beyond absurd, holy shit.
-
And the US lectures the world on human rights and admonishes countries for how they treat minority populations
-
Asians live longer thsn white people in USA?
-
Have you seen what white people eat and the average weight of white people and Asians in the US?
Also that number is a bit disingenuous, should've compared Asian women to black women, Asian men to black men (edit: not saying that black people don't have a much lower life expectancy than average, just that it's a dishonest statistic for the article to compare against which hurts its credibility)
Women live longer than men in every country because men are more likely to have heart issues and a bunch of other fatal issues later in life

But have you considered that Americans have more money, the objectively most important measure of life?
-

"Why yes but have you considered Iphone, Vuvuzela, 10 billions dead? "

and a bigger selection of shitty corn syrup food that's all owned by the same company!

Lol, imagine losing in terms of quality of life to a nation that you've embargoed and done everything to make their lives miserable.
-
That's only because the namby pamby definition of "quality of life" doesn't include key metrics like the ability to own automatic weapons and drive needlessly massive trucks.

This is an older article. In the meantime, China did overtake the US in life expectancy.
Also, IIRC, even if you compare it by wealth, the American 10% richest live less than other “developed” countries 10%. It’s like the whole country is cursed.

I mean no amount of money will save you from the pollutants that are in the air and the water

Don't forget the food

"Now I must warn you before you move in, this country is built on top of an Indian burial ground"

What can you expect from a country where a “billionaire” like Trump’s favourite meal is fucking McDonalds or “Steak”.
-
I think it's the food. Their food is so atrocious. Everything is loaded with either fat, sugar or both. They have very few health restrictions for how to preserve food ingredients, especially meat. The eating habits are also bad, eating fried bacon or eggs for breakfast is horrible for your health.

This is the most American solution for addressing retirement

Social murder

i mean, the AVERAGE cuban live longer, a black man lives even less in the US
-
The life expectancy drop of black and brown people in the US since covid is actually slightly bigger than the drop after the toppling of the Soviet Union, the previous largest on record.

What no McDonalds establishment in a country does to a mf
-
Actually, there is a McDonalds in Cuba.

Ahem... remind me again who's the failed state, according to the Americans again.

Cuba better start a refugee program, plenty of Unitedstadians want it out already.

: "Good! At least I got dat dere dem freee-dumbs, and at least I'm getting speshul treatmint for being whyte!" -
Freedom to be unemployed, go homeless, and starve to death.
-
-
Only 3? lol
-
It probably gets substantially worse if you exclude the top 10% wealth for each society.
-
that was my first thought too
