Florida does that too but apparently it doesn't apply to gays or something? I know they got her like right after she turned 18 so maybe they just happened to be far enough apart for it to not apply.


Well you got "deaths" right at least:

Utah’s large families and consequent low median age keep their heart disease stats down.



I don’t know New Mexico’s secret. It’s a very poor state, but it is still doing all right on heart disease.

I'm genuinely surprised that Maine, New Hampshire, West Virginia and Vermont have an older population than Florida. I mean I guess it makes sense, Florida has a massive population compared to those states and is a lot more diverse these days than it's "where old people go to die" image, but still surprising.

I guess also the pressure pushing young people away from places like WV is much stronger than it is here.

rural places shed educated young people and have been since post wwii. in new hampshires's case, it is both rural and expensive (relatively). i had to leave in my 20s because I couldn't afford to live there making $30k a year. i moved back once i could afford to pay $1,900 in rent instead of $294/mo i paid in iowa. minimum wage in nh is still $7.25. I have no idea how anyone making $12/hr or less can survive here

I try to take heart from the fact that the left at least won the messaging war enough that even the political right has to pay lip service to racism being bad.

Sustainable Sourcing
Pomellato monitors and evaluates its environmental impact through the Environmental Profit & Loss account (a link to this document is available at https://www.kering.com), published each year by the Kering Group. The company has obtained Responsible Jewellery Council Certification and has reached its aim of 100% responsible gold sourcing via Kering’s RESPONSIBLE Gold Framework.

Alongside this core objective is our constant pursuit of sustainable silver sources and the transparent and traceable sourcing of diamonds and coloured stones.

Our approach
“Luxury and sustainability are one and the same.” Reflecting this deeply held conviction of François-Henri Pinault, sustainability has always been at the heart of Kering’s strategy. Far more than an ethical necessity, it is a driver of innovation and value creation for the Group, its Houses, and its stakeholders.

Governance
Sustainability is represented at every level of our governance, from the Board of Directors and the Sustainability Committee to the managers of our Houses and the Sustainability Leads. Altogether, some fifty members of our staff are involved in the implementation of our roadmap.

Historic commitment
Kering and sustainability share a long history. Discover some of our commitment milestones.

Released in cinemas over 100 countries on June 5, 2009, World Environment Day, the documentary made a lasting impression through its aerial shots, raising awareness of our responsibility as regards the planet and its inhabitants.

Kering launches an ethics training campaign for the Group’s employees. It highlights Kering’s commitments in key ethical areas: fighting corruption, fraud, conflict of interest, respect for the individual, human rights, environmental protection, business confidentiality, etc. It includes role-play scenarios that mirror challenges Group employees may have to face. The training program is held every year.

https://www.kering.com/en/sustainability/environmental-profit-loss/

Environmental Profit & Loss
Kering has developed an innovative tool for measuring and quantifying the environmental impact of its activities. The Environmental Profit & Loss (EP&L) account is a key enabler of a sustainable business model, and one that Kering wishes to share with its peers in the Luxury industry and other sectors.

A decision-support tool
The EP&L measures carbon emissions, water consumption, air and water pollution, land use, and waste production along the entire supply chain, thereby making the various environmental impacts of the Group’s activities visible, quantifiable, and comparable. These impacts are then converted into monetary values to quantify the use of natural resources. Kering can thus use the EP&L to guide its sustainability strategy, improve its processes and supply sources, and choose the best-adapted technologies.

Transparency, sharing and continuous improvement
Because the EP&L is a tool for the greater good, Kering is sharing its methodology with other companies, in its own industry and beyond, to encourage a general movement toward greater sustainability. The methodology is continually evolving to take into account the lessons of previous years. The EP&L features a “scenario” modeling tool with dynamic visualization of results so that the impact of a potential decision or future project on the EP&L footprint is immediately known, in real-time. Adding to the efficiency of the EP&L methodology are lifecycle inventories and the inclusion of the Kering Standards, which were first published in 2018.
