          Education (and learning) affects deaths of heart diseases and cancer. Say, my stupid, stupid dad during covid got ill (not with covid likely) and died from heart attack, because he was afraid to get infected by doctors (yes). Education also affects whether you become “poorer” or “richer”.

          Heart diseases and cancer are affected by bad food habits, which are sometimes affected by executive dysfunction and addictive behavior, which also impede people from becoming “rich” directly.

          And the longer you survive, the likelier you are to have successes yielding financial results.

          So - maybe he doesn’t believe that, but I eagerly do, it just makes sense. Correlation is not causation.

            Hey. I saw you throating the boots of the exploitative owning class in a bunch of your comments. Do you have any good takes about anything? Like, even on a totally different topic?

            We pay twice what other countries do for healthcare, for much worse results. The insurance plague is definitely party of the problem.

            When insurance companies are auto denying claims in hope you give up and never challenge that bullshit contact breach, it’s definitely a massive part of the problem.
