    You are correct. I use the wrong term.

    Now, what is your solution to the "problem" of single parent households?

    Are people using “single parent” and “unwed” interchangeably?

    Because those two terms are most definitely not interchangeable.

    You are rather giving the game away once you are arguing there is a racial component to the 'incentives". Why would black people be more susceptible to the incentives

    oh wait - that is the whole point here

    this is no different to Big Jake's absent black dad schtick which is an inherently racist argument.

    They went back to child sex rings in pizzeria basements. Which reminds me - I have to throw some pizza crusts down the basement. They looked awful hungry yesterday.

    I decided to re-watch Ian Danskin's Alt-Right Playbook series of videos on Youtube as he has recently released another after a two-year hiatus. Hilarious how on the nose the second entry in the series is to the recent discussion in this thread and the "argumentation" style demonstrated by a certain participant.

    More resources, fewer deaths, vote dem.

    https://www.scientificamerican.com/...ie-at-higher-rates-than-those-in-urban-areas/


    According to a 2021 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report on mortality data from 1999 to 2019, people living in rural areas die at higher rates than those living in urban areas—and the gap has been widening. Rates for the top 10 causes of death in 2019 (including heart disease, cancer and accidents) were all higher in rural areas. And the pandemic has only exacerbated things: COVID is now the third leading cause of death nationwide, and rural areas account for a higher share of those deaths per capita than urban areas.

    Compared with people living in cities, rural residents are less likely to have access to health care and more likely to live in poverty. Rural states and counties also tend to lean Republican, and many of them have resisted adopting public policies known to improve health.

    “I’m not sure that many people are aware that death and health outcomes are deteriorating in rural areas relative to urban ones,” says Sally Curtin, a demographic/health statistician at the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and a co-author of the report.


    Mortality rates in both urban and rural areas fell from 1999 to 2019, but the urban rate started lower and fell faster, the data showed. The age-adjusted death rate in urban areas declined from 865 deaths per 100,000 to 693. In rural areas, it dropped from 924 to 834. In 1999 the death rate in rural areas was 7 percent higher than that in urban areas. By 2019, it was 20 percent higher.

    A similar trend was seen for both men and women. While men have higher mortality rates than women overall, rates were higher among rural male and female individuals than among urban ones, and the gap widened over the study period, the researchers found.

    Mortality rates were higher in rural areas for all of the top 10 causes of death in 2019. Heart disease was the leading cause, killing 189 people per 100,000 in rural areas and 156 per 100,000 in urban ones. Cancer was the second-biggest killer, claiming 164 and 143 lives per 100,000 in rural versus urban areas, respectively. The third leading cause of death in 2019 was unintentional injuries, a category that includes causes such as drug overdoses and firearm injuries that exclude homicide and suicide.


    Higher rural mortality rates can partially be explained by behavioral factors that increase the risk of chronic disease, such as smoking and lack of exercise. Obesity rates are also higher in rural areas. But it’s often difficult to disentangle such behaviors from the politics and policy decisions that enable them.

    “I 100 percent think there’s a political dimension to this,” says Haider Warraich, associate director of the Heart Failure Program at the VA Boston Healthcare System and an associate physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “Politics increasingly affects health in this country, more than any other country I can think about.”

    Rural areas tend to be more politically conservative, and data suggest that people in Republican-leaning counties die at higher ratesthan people in Democratic ones. Many Republican-led states haven’t expanded Medicaid, which, under the Affordable Care Act, provides health insurance for low-income adults under age 65. “One policy we know has been shown to increase access to health care is Medicaid expansion, and unfortunately, many states with widest gap are ones where Medicaid was blocked,” Warraich says. States that lean Republican also have laxer regulation of smoking and other behaviors that lead to worse health outcomes, he says.


    The COVID pandemic only amplified these trends as public health measures such as social distancing and vaccination became extremely politicized.

    I'd almost rather they die than they switch parties just for their survival and not to help the victims of racial discrimination.
