Not exactly encouraging news.
While suicides, homicides, cars have significant impacts on the disparity, diseases of poverty play a role as well: " Native American children died from pneumonia and the flu at three times the rate of white children, for example, and Black children died from asthma at almost eight times the rate of white children."
It's shameful

Widening Racial Disparities Underlie Rise in Child Deaths in the U.S.
New research finds that the death rate among Black youths soared by 37 percent, and among Native American youths by 22 percent, between 2014 and 2020, compared with less than 5 percent for white youths.

Online disinformation in the 2020 U.S. Election: swing vs. safe states
For U.S. presidential elections, most states use the so-called winner-take-all system, in which the state's presidential electors are awarded to the winning political party in the state after a popular vote phase, regardless of the actual margin of victory. Therefore, election campaigns are especially intense in states where there is no clear direction on which party will be the winning party. These states are often referred to as swing states. To measure the impact of such an election law on t…

The world can no longer afford two things:

🔸and the rich.

And in 2019 they emitted as much #carbon #dioxide

Why the world cannot afford the rich
Equality is essential for sustainability. The science is clear — people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.
