Comment on New Report Shows Working-Class Americans Live 7 Years Fewer Than Rich
Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThose with investments and other preparations in place to retire comfortably and still make money somehow are only a fraction of the population. Not everyone’s a business owner, not everyone invested in the stock market in time, not everyone has a savings account, not everyone owns their own house. There’s a chasm between the haves and the have-nots.

I was trying to say causality goes both ways between “being rich” and “living longer”.
Of course there is a chasm. There are also mass murders of towns and villages on the Syrian coast right now, with the EU having reacted swiftly by condemning the victims, and the US having reacted only in words and proceeding to bomb Yemeni houthis with means more than enough to stop those mass murders.
There are storms, and there are still times, and there are times of abundance and of hunger.
