Its almost like countries with unhealthy lifestyles like eating and exercise choices are going to spend more on healthcare and not live as long.... shocker.

“It’s because they make bad personal choices”
Qoto.org never misses this bullshit neoliberalism
That wasnt the whole point, only that their lifestyle is a huge factor that isnt even attempted to be normalized for it. Its bad data science plain and simple.
@malwaretech @GossiTheDog @freemo
Sure, if you just assume lifestyle differences (that wouldn’t themselves be the product of the same structural forces) that are significant enough to have a causal effect, it’s easy to blame those lifestyle differences rather than confronting those structural forces!
I am not assuming anything. The burden of proof is on the author of the diagram above. And by ignoring even the most basic good practices (data normalization) they have failed to show a valid argument...
To blame the person pointing out a known bad practice and to put the onus on them instead is not how this is done.
