Boston Fleet
Minnesota Frost
Victoire de Montreal
New York Sirens
Ottawa Charge
Toronto Sceptres
Here's a sobering analysis of US vs UK life expectancy. The gist is that Americans die young much more frequently mostly from road deaths (and guns, obviously). We're just killing huge numbers young people for no good reason and accepting it as normal. https://t.co/8ow9I726Uy
NEW: Iโm not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.
1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.
So many people in this country die at the hands of drunk and reckless drivers. Ricki and Megan were walking on the sidewalk in my hometown when they were killed by a drunk driver in a very similar incident to the Gaudreau brothers. https://t.co/tjScoSHWtH
Thinking of them and everybody else affected by this epidemic of road violence today. It's a uniquely American phenomenon born of our country's addiction to cars paired with reckless entitlement.
