Life expectancy in Michigan is just 0.1 years more than in Sri Lanka, a very poor country -- and worse than in Cuba. Cabo Verde, a sub-Saharan country fares better than seven US states. If you are thinking "race" -- it is "blacker" than Mississippi. Only six states do better than (very poor) Peru in life expectancy.
OK, habits matter greatly. States toward the bottom are some of the heaviest users of cancerweed products in America. Contemplate also sedentary habits, drug use (the opiate and meth epidemics), pollution, alcoholism, and obesity.
When something as severe as another Great Depression or a cataclysmic war breaks down our social arrangements, as usually happens in a 4T, we might have to rebuild without some of those arrangements better at enriching elites than at serving people.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
