Mortality rates rising for Gens X and Y, too
Reduced US life expectancy is not just the Baby Boomers

Date:
    December 19, 2018
Source:
    Duke University
Summary:
    Declining life expectancies in the US include Gen X and Y Americans, in addition to the older Baby Boomers.

The researchers examined data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Mortality Multiple Cause Files for the years 1990-2016.

Tell a couple of generations that unhealthy behaviour is okay, cater to their mental illnesses, and treat them with kid gloves, and they aren't going to do well in life.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
