@randahl But we subsidize car ownership, so instead of the happiest children*, we have the happiest old white men in the world, and reducing life expectancy keeps the costs of that program down.

@enobacon @randahl those are not mutually exclusive. In most European countries we have universal healthcare, AND we subsidize car industry and buying, AND we also subsidize public transportation.
