White Americans without a college degree are becoming more likely to die in middle age, reversing decades of progress toward better health.



quote:

Researchers first noticed this worrisome trend last year. They pointed to increases in opioid abuse, obesity and suicide among the causes of death, but what caused these increases has remained something of a mystery. This week, a pair of economists have advanced a new theory. They suggest that, for many workers, a major shift in the structure of the U.S. economy may have been fatal.

Like most experts on trade, Schott argues against new tariffs or other restrictions. Instead, he calls on policymakers to do more to ensure that everyone shares in the gains from globalization.



I have no words!

No shite. This has been the goal. Destroy the white middle class and working class. White genocide with a smile.

I'd rather this than be a Women's Studies grad saddled with tens of thousands in debt. Those WaPo losers will never get this though.

Are you under the impression that globalization (global economy, global communication) is some terrible thing without any positives?

tl;dr Tariffs are bad for WaPo+Amazon owner Jeff Bezos. White males will literally die without cheap shite sold through Amazon.com.


Forget Pepsi, Grubhub etc... BOYCOTT Amazon.com

Trying to scare the working white male population into loving the globalization that destroyed many of their livelihoods. After constantly insulting and denigrating their way of life.

We must still be a force to reckon with.

Example of a self righteous liberal without the intelligence to see the forest for the trees.

I pity poor fools such as you

Or was this a more or a natural progression due to costs of labor and technological efficiency?

We have thrived as a country that adapts to changes in the economy. Rather than searching for jobs that aren't likely to come back, we should look for ways to thrive in the current environment.

I question the study, but I'm not offended by it. No need to get into an SJWer mentality about things I disagree with.

I am under the impression that the UNFAIR TRADE that our "Leaders" have implemented was sold to the citizens of the US as a good thing when in reality i has devastated people needlessly.

Some of it. But a lot of it was NAFTA, terrible (for the working class) trade deals, corruption and graft, and the global political elite enriching themselves at the expense of workers.

To go to this length, yes. The real issue is that it isn't just WHITE uneducated males. It's ALL of the US citizens. Even in Tech.

But people also benefit from cheaper goods.

But there are costs and benefits to it, and there have been many benefits as well. And win or lose, the less the government is in the way, the better. If we aren't winning than we (not the incompetent government) needs to adapt. If we can't do that, then we have far bigger problems on our hands.
