Scientists warned a decade ago American lives were shortening. Then it got worse : Shots
Just before Christmas, federal health officials confirmed life expectancy in America had dropped for a nearly unprecedented second year in a row – down to 76 years. While countries all over the world saw life expectancy rebound during the second year of the pandemic after the arrival of vaccines, the U.S. did not. Then, last week, more bad news: Maternal mortality in the U.S. reached a high in 2021.

Record numbers of people are worse off, a recipe for political discontent: POLL

Political fallout includes poor performance ratings for Biden and a tight hypothetical Biden/Trump rematch next year. Given disaffection with both leaders, a rerun of the 2020 presidential election is hardly enticing: Nearly six in 10 Democratic-aligned adults don’t want to see Biden nominated again for the job, and half on the Republican side would rather not see Donald Trump as their party’s nominee.

A house price slump is coming. Rising unemployment could make it much worse
London CNN Business — Last year, Auckland’s largest real estate company couldn’t sell properties quickly enough to meet demand in New Zealand’s biggest city. Houses were “flying out the door,” said Grant Sykes, a manager at real estate agency Barfoot & Thompson. “There were chin-dropping moments when agents stand around the room and are gobsmacked at the prices being achieved,” he told CNN Business. In one example, a property sold for 1 million New Zealand dollars ($610,000) above the asking price in an auction that lasted all of eight minutes. (Most homes in New Zealand are sold at auction.) That was in May 2021, when sales attracted thousands of bidders…

TikTok politics: Candidates turn to it ‘for better or worse’
Wade Herring did not know the teenage voter who approached him at a restaurant more than the weekend. But she knew Herring, a Democrat jogging for Congress in Ga, from his marketing campaign movies on TikTok. To Herring, a 63-calendar year-aged Savannah lawyer, it was proof of TikTok’s precision-guided capacity to get to young voters — the quite motive why he and candidates from each get-togethers have eagerly embraced the system ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. “A calendar year and a fifty percent ago, I imagined it was just dancing videos,” Herring said of TikTok.
