Until now, I didn't think that poverty impacting mortality was a controversial statement. Poverty is the fourth greatest cause of US deaths[1].
Why would I hire a part time worker when I could hire an AI for cheaper? When I said categorically, I meant it.

- slibhb 2y agoQuite a goal post move from "just go unemployed, and then bankrupt, and then die" to "poverty impacts health"
- kelseyfrog 2y agoI didn't say health; you did. I said mortality which is synonymous with death. Misquoting someone to prove a point is intellectually bankrupt. Take a breath and calm down. Why don't you try stealmanning instead?
- slibhb 2y ago"Negatively impacts mortality" doesn't mean "kills" or "causes to die". "Bad for health" is a better interpretation. Do you really believe that unemployment + bankruptcy = death? If you don't believe that, then why are you writing sentences like this: > Do most people who labor for wages just go unemployed, and then bankrupt, and then die?
- kelseyfrog 2y agoYes. The all-cause mortality hazard ratio for unemployment is 1.85[1]. Nearly doubling mortality is an incredible result. Reducing my argument to a guarantee of death in order to prove it wrong is absurd. 1. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4677456/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4677456/
