Doesn’t really explain a sudden drop like this imo. That’s been a slow and constant roll out
Idk how that's "too" progressive? It doesn't even really make that much sense imo.
If there's one idea that isn't terrible, it's a lower corporate tax rate for those who have domestic production, but that's incredibly complicated to implement and would vary wildly by industry.
I've actually done analyses with OECD data. It's terrible. This is about as good as it gets. Countries don't report these data points very reliably. You get some that are a decade old, some that are much newer.
The real bias is in the use of "non-emergency surgery" as a data point. Look at time to see a specialist and you'll get a much different picture. (edit: spoiler alert, the US sucks. ask me about healthcare scheduling if you want me to nerd out for a bit)
Beyond what the article mentions (more people opting for retirement communities/assisted living/nursing homes), changing dating trends, better physical health for seniors, increasing divorce rates, etc., Id doubt there are that many other factors.
Did you have a rebuttal to the specific claims in this article, like chlamydia (plus gonorrhea, syphilis) tripling among seniors in the past decade? It certainly sounds like it’s increasing to me, but I’m not an expert on this
Or, y’know, that Iran (along with a couple others, like Syria) is a primary funder of Hezbollah. Could also be that
At times, I find “unbiased” sources painful in how they pull their punches. It can be refreshing to me to find sources that are willing to write to their audience.
FWIW, non-profit does not mean unbiased. Nor are they necessarily more accurate.
