OMG poor Lurker, up all night angry-posting, sad...
You live in a red state? No wonder you're so angry and depressed, now it makes sense!...
"The states with the highest suicide rates predominantly vote Republican, while the states with the lowest rates predominantly vote Democratic."
"Residents of blue states have a higher average life expectancy than those in red states, with the gap typically exceeding two years."
"For example, Hawaii (a blue state) has the highest life expectancy in the U.S. at 80.7 years, while Mississippi (a red state) has the lowest at 71.9 years."
"Red states tend to have higher rates of poverty, less access to healthcare, higher rates of drug abuse deaths, more gun violence, and more complications from treatable diseases like diabetes."
"The political divide in life expectancy across the U.S. is stark and persistent. Blue states, offer residents a longer life expectancy than red states, a difference driven largely by policy choices, public health investments, and socioeconomic factors."
"Higher poverty rates in red states, Lower educational attainment in red states.
Underinvestment in social services and policing: Despite rhetoric about being "tough on crime," red states often spend less per capita on both
social services and law enforcement compared to blue states."
But we all know this already.
