"One in 25 American 5-year-olds now won't live to see 40, a death rate
about four times as high as in other wealthy nations," writes David
Wallace-Wells. "Firearms account for almost half of the increase."

Distribution of wealth in the US tells this story. Largest wealth
shift to the top 1% while an explosion in the ranks of the
marginalized & disenfranchised working class. When nation dictated by
billionaire club has no interest in the welfare of the citizens, what
do you expect?
