  • If you take out heart disease and car crashes out of the deaths per year equation, America has one of the highest life expectancy of any country.

    Primary reason for heart disease is more in line for America not restricting what you can or cant consume (except for drugs). If you want to eat garbage balloon up to 400lbs and die when you are 36 you can do that in America.

    Car crashes just lower the life expectancy quite a bit just because America is a large ass country with a lot of cars. Americans need to drive everywhere because America itself is too sparse to have an affordable railway system across the whole country... unless you turn it privatized then you can expect some improvements. (Looking at you Amtrak)

      • I'm only scared of driving in California they just suck at driving in clear conditions with no weather. I'm from Wisconsin where the roads are icy, wet and you have the occasional drunk. Somehow it's actually easier!!
