Between 1999-2001 and 2018-2020, data from 34 states showed an increase in life expectancy. 14 out of the 16 states that showed a decrease in life expectancy (all but New Mexico and Arizona) voted Republican (overall) in the 2020 US presidential election.

No. The sequence is non-repeating. Every set of “111…” has one more “1” than the preceding one. You will never see “0110” again in this sequence after position 5.

Similarly, there is no guarantee that the universe (infinite or not) is repeating.

I'm surprised that Saudi Arabia's road death rate per 100k people is so high, considering they don't let over half the population drive. I wonder if the low death rates in some countries are driven by lower car ownership in general.

They didn't use any data from the past (church records, DNA samples from remains, ?) when constructing their statistical models? If not, then how did they get different age ranges during different eras?

Sorry - I can't seem to open the link in the article to the original study.

>1 is perfectly OK for when you need to zoom in to see the difference.

Agreed. There are lots of examples where you really shouldn't start the Y axis at zero, e.g. if zero is not a reasonable value of whatever measure you're displaying. If I want to display the past few years' average temperatures in Miami, I should not start either the X-axis (year) or the Y-axis (temperature) at zero.

Looking at your source, all these states have increased the percentage of college-educated adults from 2006, which doesn't really indicate a brain drain.

Looking at two states each with one-year increases (Maine, West Virginia) and decreases (California, Louisiana), the one-year decrease doesn't seem to be particularly related to any longer-term trend.

2006 2020 2021

California 29 36.9 36.2

Louisiana 20.3 27.2 26.4

Maine 25.5 33.5 36

West Virginia 16.5 23.1 24.1

They'd kill the seller, and just let the Jew move in?

>It prohibits selling palestinian property to foreigner

Well, no, it only prohibits selling to 'hostile countries' - i.e. mainly Israel.

>for any death penalty to be carried out

"Osama Hussein Mansour...died in July after falling from a window while being held in Palestinian custody, but it was unclear whether he fell or was pushed."

In other words, they say they'll kill anyone who sells land to a Jew, and they do kill anyone who sells land to a Jew.
