    actually, what it said is:

    "245,000 deaths in the United States in the year 2000 were attributable to low levels of education, 176,000 to racial segregation, 162,000 to low social support, 133,000 to individual-level poverty, 119,000 to income inequality, and 39,000 to area-level poverty."

    * low levels of education - trump proposed a 7.8% cut of the education department
    * 176,000 to racial segregation - lol, yeah, trump is a big fan of minorities
    * 162,000 to low social support - trump has been working OT to gut the ACA and food stamp program, and that's the short list
    * 133,000 to poverty - trump's last budget proposed massive cuts to poverty assistance
    * 119,00o to income equality - income equality has had a massive acceleration under trump

    there was a conclusion from the study too:

    "These findings argue for a broader public health conceptualization of the causes of mortality and an expansive policy approach that considers how social factors can be addressed to improve the health of populations"

    that's the opposite of trump's policies

    All based on poverty situations. Don’t try and spin it.

    I'm not trying to spin it.

    I'm simply saying if you are truly concerned about the mortality rate of poverty, you should hate trump and want his ass out of the white house.

    I think that general statement was lazy and misinformed. What you feel and what is fact are two entirely different things. I can name multiple policies that Trump was a part of that were directed to revitalize Urban areas. Things he did for a voting block that only voted 7% in favor of him.

    let’s get back to talking about covid. You wanna talk about that shit, bring it to the old man VS old man thread.

    Because the general population isn't all in a tightly packed/concentrated area like prisons are.

    Ah yes, the right and Trump TV suddenly love social democratic Sweden. Sadly, Sweden has a massive COVID-19 epidemic. Compare their infection and death rate to other Scandinavian countries, the ones who did shut down. It's off the charts and still going up. Facts matter.

    Good question. Supposedly (according to one side of the aisle) he's just been itching to shut down immigration since day one of hiss presidency. If he's just using the pandemic as an excuse to do something he's wanted to do for years, wouldn't he have done it a month ago?

    Exactly...then again, considering that he was at least a month tardy in even acknowledging and acting on this virus, it might also explain why he's a month behind on shutting down immigration.

    Of all the businesses that could be gradually reopened, these are the ones out governor has decided that should open first.

    1. Gyms
    2. Bowling alleys
    3. Tattoo parlors
    4. Barbers
    5. Hair and nail salons
    6. Massage centers


    ...seriously?...yeah, let's go with the businesses that require people to be in close proximity to others.

    Some people don't care to watch yet another episode of something that they have seen before and that they know in advance is going to be a self-promoting Trump shit show.

    Im sure the answer is both. I think a lot of jobs arent coming back, but Im sure some people will refuse to work certain jobs too.
    To be fair say you have a degree, you’re educated you were working for 75k+ a year doing what you wanted to do its quite a leap to say now you take job for 40k, doing something you dont want too. Not trying to make an excuse, as much as just to say I have some empathy for people who may be put in that situation.
    Side note: last time I saw you post (about a month ago)& you posted some things that seemed pretty sad and personal, while its not my business at all, I hope that you’re doing well.
    .01% of their population has died from it and thats a massive off the charts epidemic? We really dont know if what theyve done will work or not as time goes on but Its definitely an interesting approach. They have factors in sweden that may give them advantages over other places.

    Where is your link to these facts?

    Not trying to be a dick, but it is hard to take seriously someone who posts that "facts matter", but don't actually post the facts from a report?

    Just sayin....
