1. A study found a marked increase in mortality rates between 1999-2013 for white non-Hispanic Americans aged 45-54, reversing decades of progress. This trend was unique to the US. 2. The higher mortality was largely due to increasing death rates from drug/alcohol poisonings, suicide, and liver diseases/cirrhosis. 3. The study was based on income data from tax records and death records, finding higher socioeconomic status was associated with higher life expectancy.

exchange reserve holdings are claimed in US
dollars, a value equaling $11.9 trillion. The yen
and pound each have about a 4% share. The

less than 2% of global holdings, and the euro’s
share is about 24.5%, down from a record 28% in
2009. In a Central Banldng publication released

14. The Empire's propaganda machine
•Trump can already be credited with an immense
achievement: his campaign has forced the US
corporate media to show its true face - the face of an
evil, lying? morally corrupt propaganda
machine. The American people by their vote
have rewarded their media with a gigantic
“f*ckyou!” - a vote ofno-confidence and total
rejection which will forever demolish the credibility
of the Empire s propaganda machine.

15. Thefoundingmythsof theUS Empirearecrashingdown
Likewise, the election of Trump has already
proved that the US media is a prostitute and
that the majority of the American people hate
their ruling class. Again, this is a direct blow
to the credibility and legitimacy of the entire
The foundingsocio-political order.

19. If you want to understand the Trump phenomenon, dig up the
much more detailed county map. Here's how the nation voted
county by county in the 2012 election , red is Republican. Blue
islands in an ocean of red. The cities are less than 4 percent of the
land mass, but 62 percent of the population and easily 99 percent
of the popular culture. Our movies, shows, songs, and news all
radiate out from those blue islands.
And if you live in the red, that fucking sucks.

28. Risingmorbidity andmorlalityinnudlile amongwhite
non Hispanic AmericansinIhe 2lsl century
Anne Case and Angus Deaton
•This paper documents a marked increase in the all¬
cause mortality of middle-aged white non-Hispanic
men and women in the United States between 1999
and 2013. This change reversed decades of progress in
mortality and was unique to the United States; no
other rich countryside a similar turnaround. The
midlife mortality reversal was confined to white non-
Hispanics; black non-Hispanics and Hispanics at
midlife, and those aged 65 and above in every racial
and ethnic group, continued to see mortality rates
fall. This increase for whites was largely accounted for
by increasing death rates from drug and alcohol
poisonings, suicide, liver diseases and cirrhosis.
poisonings, suicide, liver diseasesand cirrhosis.
The study was based on income data derived from 1.4
billion tax records between 1999 and 2014 of
individuals aged 40 to 76, and death records obtained
from the Social Security Administration. It found that
men in the top one percent had an expected age of
death of 87.3, compared to 72.7 years for the poorest
one percent. The richest women on average lived 88.9
years, while the poorest lived only 78.8 years. "Men in
the bottom 1 percent of the income distribution at the
age of 40 years in the United States," the study noted,”
have life expectancies similar to the
mean life expectancy of 40-year-old
men in Sudan and Pakistan.”us men in the
top one percent of income distribution have "higher
life expectancies than the mean life expectancy for
men inall countries at age 40 years” the study found...
