      I keep saying that the fact that Trump has made it to 77 is a testament to modern medical science.

        Nah, his longevity is from decent genes and the fact that he’s never had to worry or stress about anything real his entire life. Poverty is the number one killer of Americans. The lack of access to healthcare, having to overwork your body and mind to make ends meet and the constant stress of wondering if your next paycheck will be enough to feed and house you and your loved ones is killer on the heart. Shitty people don’t live long lives because they’re shitty. It’s because they’re rich. IT just so happens, all rich people are also shitty people. But I’ve met some poor shitty people that die early because their heart just gives out from overwork.

        It’s like Eugenia Cooney. How is she still alive? How do you treat your body with absolute disdain and survive?

          Mick Jagger just turned 80.

          I eat pretty well, exercise daily and I doubt I’m making it that long…
