a deep dive into the statistics is probably going to show 2 things:
1. Once you reach 65, you're more likely to live longer than ever before
2. The death rate for "younger americans (16-40) is increasing. Due to drug overdoses, gun crimes, suicide . . . and this results in the overall averages falling.
