Dear #Americans, even the richest of you have a lower life expectancy than the poorest Europeans. The cause? Risks like stress, unhealthy food and pollution. Also more Americans smoke and more live in the countryside than in Europe, both of which harm one’s health.

The source of the research: your own Brown University of Public Health.

@EdwinG for confused #Americans : the government has an agency for elections, and part of its job is ensuring every eligible Canadian gets an info card in the mail ahead of voting day explaining when the voting will take place, and where in your area you will go to vote.

Dear World,

We're entering a new chapter in the #USA of self-destruction

Anyone with two braincells can see how dumb the current #US regime is, but apparently many morons in this country insist on learning the hard way

It's quite embarrassing. My whole life I was aware there are many bigots and dimwits in #America, but I and many others underestimated just how many and just how stupid and sadistic

I hope we'll be back. We'll try our best

Apologies,

Sane #Americans

Watching severe #weather monitoring in #Nashville and meteorologists have *repeatedly* said that “The radar indicates a #tornado could be touching down in (location), but I’m surprised the National Weather Service hasn’t issued a tornado warning yet.” Then crucial minutes later, a warning is issued. This is not normal! 😡

The #DOGE cuts are endangering the lives of #Americans every day that #Americans sit on their ass and comply.

#Resist and #DoNotComply.

#diaperdon #trump had calculated that #EU put on extra costs on #US products with 39% of this in average are tariffs 2.59% (while #USA had 2.49% against EU), so what are the 36%, those are VAT which is a tax on all products that are sold in EU, regardless from where the product originally comes from.

This is another way for the orange thing to make #americans to pay for his scam projects.
