Hi, the poll is here for entertainement purpose, on the other hand the source is pretty serious ("le monde" & 2 american studies)
im translating the article (sorry for google translate mistakes) and my question is: why in usa and not in others countries ?



The magnitude of such an increase, due to drugs and alcoholism, would be comparable to the top of the AIDS epidemic in the United States.

This is an unprecedented trend for a developed country. According to a survey published on 26 January by the scientific journal The Lancet, the mortality rate of young Americans between the ages of 25 and 35 has increased between 1999 and 2014, whereas this rate has decreased overall Of the richest countries in forty years.

The origin of this surge in mortality is even more troubling. It is mainly the young white women, who draw the figures upward and, to a lesser extent, the American Indians and the natives of Alaska. For example, analysis of the statistics collected from the National Center for Health Statistics shows that the mortality rate of 25-year-old white women has increased by an average of 3% annually during the 15 years considered and 2.3% For the thirties category. For boys of the same age, the annual growth rate of the mortality rate is 1.9%. For American Indians aged 30 years, the increase even reaches 4.3%, while for young people from Alaska the figure is 1.9%.

"An increase in mortality from 2% to 5% per year is rarely observed in developed countries. The magnitude of such an increase is comparable to that of two health emergencies observed in the past: the substantial increase in mortality in Russia during the 1990s and the increase in mortality among individuals aged 20 to 40 Years at the peak of the AIDS epidemic from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s in the United States, "the report said.

The origin of premature deaths is very evident in the ill-being of these populations. These are mainly overdoses, liver diseases (cancer, cirrhosis) caused most often by alcoholism, suicides and homicides. These findings corroborate those of another recently published study showing that deaths from heroin overdose have quadrupled between 2010 and 2015 for young people aged 25-34.

The phenomenon is all the more atypical since it does not affect other minorities. Premature deaths for Hispanics and Asians continue to decline. For African Americans, the decline in the mortality rate is even more spectacular with a drop of 3.9% per year. It should be noted, however, that the mortality rate of blacks is still 1.5 times higher than that of whites.

The Lancet study was published a little over a year after the Nobel Prize winning economist Angus Deaton and Anne Case showed that the mortality rate of the less educated American white population 45 to 54 years of age, has risen unprecedented over the last decade, while again, the figure remains downward for Blacks, Hispanics or Asians.

suicides and overdoses will continue to trend upwards as apathy follows the same path. once universal income is provided the stat will curve off, but remain at a very high level.

That's the sort of white privilege liberals can get behind.

I'm not sure how social welfare relates to this. USA has plenty of welfare programs, it's very easy for young people to get grants/loans to go to school, etc. This is more about the wide availability of drugs, the decline in American religion, necessity of a degree to make a decent living, etc.

I'll assume your generation is not the Millennials, cause they're the best generation since probably the G.I. Generation.
