Blog 8: Privilege Has Its Rewards — How Longevity Will Become The New Class Inequality

          From the way this world is it seems to be noticed that the rich live longer than anyone else.  Which of course with more money you can afford the best medical care and have better health in general.  The poor have less resources, better education and such which leads to an improved quality of life.  So there is a big longevity gap.  Education is a factor, in a study it been shown the better educated tend to live longer by 9%.  Higher educated people tend to have lower blood pressure as well to help with their cardiovascular health.  Intelligence is another factor, a trait among many billionaires is their parent have a high aptitude for math.  Social Status is another factor. Social isolation decreases longevity meaning friends and family extend your lifetime.  A study showed the noble prize winners tend to live about 2 yrs longer.  Hormones, safety, and activity, are other factors as well.  The rich tend to eat better cause they can afford healthier food. The rich have the advantage.  Putting all those factors together prove that the rich live longer.  Income inequality is the major issue that is being talked about right now, but the longevity gap is an issue that ain't far behind.
        The rich def have it better and easier.  Of course because they have the money they have access to better medical care.  They can have a doctor at their house in no time.  Also healthier food is more expensive so a lot of people stick with the cheaper stuff, but the rich can afford it and afford someone to coo kit a better way.  Some of the other factors are a little shocking to know contribute to it, but the studies show it.  The bigger the gap gets the more it changes.   As long as income inequality is the top thing being talked about right now this problem isn't really being noticed.
