minus-squarecarl_dungeon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoI don’t disagree, but people get confused by average lifespan because it includes babies that die. If you live to 60, in the USA you’re expected to live another 21.4 years (almost 82). https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/05/long-life-does-not-always-mean-a-healthy-life-in-old-age.html And that number is still an average. But I get it, 50 still isn’t the middle.
