#1 Due to increased use rate of meth?

#2 Auto accidents.
As ladies entered the workforce and now that rural employees are commuting farther for work, there are more highway deaths among the working class. Something like 50k/yr.
Only the popular social meme causes are mentioned of course.

#4 In the end, all the ills and tragedies of society should be blamed on Global Warming, White Privilege, and Republicans. Why can no one see it ?

#6 The same factors that led lower class whites to depression and high mortality/suicide rate led them to Trump. I thought that was obvious.

#7 This reversal may be fueling anger among white voters:

Not the reversal itself but the conditions that led to the reversal, WAPO morons.

#8 Speaking as a rural person: we live harder in places that are harder to live.

#9 Glenmore, I'm sure what the overall trend is, but I look around this town and see way too many young women just ruined. I'm sure their kids do not have a chance, especially young lungs with haz-mat level house air, then the lack of food, hygiene, household maintenance, a whole cascade.

The lucky kids get raised by grandma, which of course is a lot of stress on grandma.

I wouldn't call it then, decaying health, but decaying lifestyle. I'd say there are the traditional losers who work odd jobs in between binges, and then the locusts - city people find a house for rent cheap and gather as many locusts as can possibly fit in said rental, they then supplement their government money by theft and/or selling. Boom, don't have to work, just have to make sure they don't run out of product, oh and change the diapers if someone thinks about it.

#10 It must somehow be George Bush's fault - agreed?
