The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

    Not for the tail end of Gen X. And the only reason you kids have a lower expectancy than we do is cause you guys got even fatter. I’m in good shape, and all of you kids that are in good shape have a higher life expectancy than me.

      What’s your source for this? Not sure how life expectancy could be so precisely calculated among sub groups like that.

        I read a few studies that came to that conclusion a few years ago. I’d love to provide the source, but I have lost the ability to find anything remotely historical with any of the search engines in the last year or so.

        As far as the tech angle is concerned look up Kurzgesagt’s video on life extension tech, they have a few, but the one that discusses senescent cells is the most important. Senolyitc drugs have been on the market for a year or two now, so we have a way of preventing cancer, which is the current disease that takes out most people, with a side benefit of forcing new cell growth.

      Also life expectancy doesn’t factor in coming technological advances which I thought was your whole point…
