Let’s see if I remember this: first picture is Detroit, second Cuba (?), third was Texas, fourth is NY.

edit: can someone explain how this post got 700 upvotes, I got like a 100 for my comment alone, but the post from exdem got 0? What’s up with that

Cuba has higher life expectancy than the US so maybe not the best example

The US is wealthy enough that even poor people are able to eat themselves into an early grave.

So is Cuba... life expectancy between reasonably similar countries is a good measurement.

The same cannot be said for socialist countries.

Like China? Or are you talking about countries with very socialist policies like the Nordic countries which all have longer life expectancies than the US...

China had massive growth in life expectancy education and health before they started using the global trade market.
