Our mission is to provide the data and research to make progress against the world’s largest problems: OurWorldInData.org/About

What are the world’s largest problems?
This week I thought I do a thread on all the global problems we research; starting with health. ↓↓
• Globally 3.9% of all newborns die in the first 5 years of their life.
• This means that 5.5 million children die per year.

Why are children dying and what can be done to prevent it?
→ Our research on Child & Infant Mortality OurWorldInData.org/Child-mortality
• The global average life expectancy is 73 years. The global inequality can be seen in the map below.

When did the average age at which people die increase and how can we make further progress against early death?

Welfare for the rich? A $1.9 Trillion tax cut giveaway.

Fun fact: In 2018, 60 Fortune 500 companies paid no taxes on a total of $79 billion of profits.

Welfare for the poor? 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Today is #WorldPrematurityDay
I want to share some data and thoughts with you. First of all, we have to stop sanitizing the experience of prematurity. parenting.nytimes.com/newborn/premat…
We must discuss the facts. Worldwide prematurity is the number one cause of death in the first month of life and the 2nd leading cause of death for children < 5 years. How this isn't being discussed daily by our so called "pro-life" government says it all.
1 in 10 births in the United States are premature. While most are what we call late preterm births (34 weeks to 36 weeks and 6 days) and they do have fewer complications than babies born very early, they have more complications than babies born at term.

We desperately need #GunReform laws in the U.S. #MassacreMitch has an A+ rating by the NRA, & has taken $ MILLIONS, ensuring no gun laws pass.

R’s are handmaidens to the gun lobby, ensuring thousands die yearly, so long as they get #NRABloodMoney. courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
Now #MassacreMitch has stated he will only allow a Senate vote on #GunReform laws IF #VeryStableGenius is guaranteed to sign it. He wants to be absolved of any responsibility.

What.

A.

Leader.
These deaths are on his hands though. He requests to be known as the Grim Reaper on passing legislation. He certainly lives up to the name.

The NRA is in Republicans’ pocketbooks as well as ears, telling them how to spread fear & lies about guns to the public.

We know better.

1. The sleeping giant is slowly awakening to the corruption that is enslaving us all.

Once this giant has fully awoken we shall be unstoppable.

Public awakening is their greatest fear.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
2. It’s essential that #WeThePeople understand how #Corruption in the pharmaceutical industry has a stronghold on people.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
3. This long & detailed thread will shine light on corruption in the vaccine and cancer industry.

These are complicated & touchy parts of the #DeepState rabbithole for obvious reasons but facing the #Truth is very important.

The truth shall set everyone #free.
