So you're okay with shutting down to the point the economy crashes and all peoples life expectancy drops?

@1,119,368 (B)Here is the U.S. mortality rate since 1970. In the past 50 years, do you notice a trend between recessions and large increases in the average mortality rate? I don't. Look at the mid 1970s, 2007-2012, etc. If anything for some reason depressions decrease mortality slightly, though I'm not a statistician so idk if there's any actual statistically meaningful correlation here. This is just a concern I can find no basis for at all.

Drop in GDP is linked to a drop in life expectancy. Look that up smart guy.

I'm not going to do your homework for you, especially when I suspect you haven't done it yourself yet! High GDP is associated with high life expectancy, and low GDP is associated with low life expectancy, that's true. Germany has a higher life expectancy than Mali after all. But I have yet to see conclusive evidence that within high GDP countries, short term (less than 5 years) drops in GDP are associated with increased mortality. I don't even know how that would work. In America you are very unlikely to die from starvation or disease, even if you are unemployed. Unless people systematically start ending up homeless, or the U.S. government runs out of money, I don't see why a decline in GDP would lead to a sudden surge in deaths. What would the mechanism for that even be?

Yet in recent years, accumulating evidence suggests that rising incomes and personal well-being are linked in the opposite way. It seems that economic growth actually kills people.
Christopher Ruhm, an economics professor at the University of Virginia, was one of the first to notice this paradox. In a 2000 paper, he showed that when the American economy is on an upswing, people suffer more medical problems and die faster; when the economy falters, people tend to live longer.
“It’s very puzzling,” says Adriana Lleras-Muney, an economics professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. “We know that people in rich countries live longer than people in poor countries. There’s a strong relationship between GDP and life expectancy, suggesting that more money is better. And yet, when the economy is doing well, when it’s growing faster than average, we find that more people are dying.”

Why are you posting about Syntax still? You begged to get him banned from here but you can't refrain from shitting the place up with your constant references to him.
