Did European countries see a similar dip?
Many of the items you described were also problems before the pandemic, so it doesn’t exactly explain the dip. It would be curious to find if other countries saw a dip as well, or the size of their dip.
The article does attribute the dip to drug overdoses and Covid, mainly.

Before jumping off the deepend of obvious problems America has, it’s important to compare the relative life expectancy dip of other countries to determine the change pandemic life (a somewhat controlled variable) had on that life expectancy.

I really do look back on it somewhat fondly because we pushed through and it was a good story. Of course, many people were really hurt or killed. But it was wild

The best part about round 2 was all the trees were freshly “pruned” so it wasn’t quite as bad.

I still remember being a month without power. Spent my nights in bars playing cards mostly. Went to Walmart to play video game demos. We got creative

I’ve got nothing against California, but something about a lot of these movies keeps me from being immediately into them as well. I can’t explain it, I don’t know what it is. It just is

The rule was 60 credit hours of college. Now the rule is 60 credit hours OR take this class and pass a test to be a certified sub by DESE

Actually? Imo, Not really. I’ll bet the 20 hour course better prepares you for subbing than 60 credit hours in college.
I say that as a certified teacher, administrator, and former sub. There probably should be some regulation not allowing someone without a formal education to be a long term sub, but filling in day to day and following instructions left by the teacher? Not too bad. What subs really need more of is classroom management training and they receive that through the course, but not through their collegiate education.

Don’t even need education anymore. Can take a 20 hour class and become sub certified in Missouri now

It’s authentic to a very hidden and obese population in a portion of a Mexican Jungle. Mr. Villa himself is said to have ancestors from the region, which is how he came upon the recipes he now crafts for our delight.
So ya, it’s authentic.

Libraries are great. Librarians will help you register. You can also register when you update your license if you’ve moved. That makes it easy if you move a lot. Two birds one stone. And now you also have to show ID to vote soooo your registration and ID need to match anyway. Though there might be some other documents you can use. Not sure about that.
You can also register online. Don’t get discouraged. Bureaucracy can be discouraging, but there’s often a reason for every hurdle. Some of them stupid, some aren’t but they seem like it.
Register online here: here

It shows that a man is willing to go through a procedure in order to prevent her from having an unwanted pregnancy, one that she will be forced to carry to term. That said, it’s really only respecting bodies if you know you won’t want a baby in the future.
If you get a vasectomy to show a girl you respect her body regardless of your own wishes, that could be “simpy”. Though that term is stupid in its own right.

Most insurances will cover this at very low to no cost. Because it’s cheaper than insuring your soon to be large family and baby. No brainer

If I’m going a reasonable speed and someone is failing me in the left lane, I move to the right lane and let them pass so I don’t get injured from whatever it is they’re doing.
We have to stop trying to do things that control others just because “we are right” ‘oughts’ and ‘should’ get you killed on the road when others aren’t doing what the ought and should. Just let ‘em go
