That’s completely understandable. It’s not like these last few years haven’t been the most stressful in recorded history, save for a few times past the Bronze and Iron Ages where men would fight for dominion over everything.
Life expectancy has taken a dip in the US in the recent year, although deaths from heart disease, cancer and other chronic illnesses dropped. There’s a reason for that. Because nobody can afford to be in the hospital from chronic illnesses anymore. They can barely afford sandwiches, you see. They can barely afford gym memberships. You think they’re going to hold up well and fill out surveys about their health when they can barely hold pens, much less jobs?
Either that, or people are tired of robbing the social security offices and checking their birth certificates to make sure they’re not, in fact, from Kenya. Or so tired of chasing down the people giving them loan notices that they’re dying en masse.
The economy could also be killing us slowly, or the unholy trinity of terrible pop culture, mass media focused on the wrong things, and mercury in our socialism. All of these things.
Or Whole Foods. Maybe Whole Foods is killing us. Who knows? I’m not a scientist.
Americans born in 2008 can expect to live 77.8 years.
