Is the Queen Near her End?

[jrt_ms1995]

BBC is reporting the Queen is dead....

Trump's fault.

Dying at 73 is a full life. Anything beyond is bonus. Not saying that is your expiration year. I am saying it should not be a shock if it is though. No matter how healthy of a lifestyle one has, by average age of 73 we all have something that could go/give out at any time.

I agree with the concept, but the 73 is a bit low based on today's health.

That said, I've done more before age 30 than most people have done in a lifetime. I've led a full, good life, and if something were to happen that's out of my control, I'll be fine with that.

For your consideration ...

When she goes, the entire 24/hr news cycle for weeks will be all about her. Noting else newsworthy will be happening in the world that will need reporting on or require our attention.

Her death was announced once before a while back, then they apologized for announcing. I shared that announcement on this forum.

Something doesn't smell right..not talking about her dead corpse.

Will this end the inbred monarchy that's actually German?

I suspect Prince Charles will handle the monarchy the same way it has been, but once he's gone, I see a rapid decline of the monarchy. It's an incredible drain on their economy with very little in return, other that pomp and circumstance.

No knowing but I read somewhere they claim the monarchy brings in MUCH more in tourism than they piss away on these royal inbreeds. Me personally..... meh. I venture to say their shiit stinks too. How many worldwide have died because of the crown and their expansion?

No need to be pushin' the envelope.

I still got dibs on the Slingshot...right?

For as many people announcing people who lived past 73 there are also many who don’t make it to 73 thus the median age. Bottom line is if someone dies at 73 they made a good run of it and no one should really be shocked.

I ran an errand and came right back home and she died.

Life expectancy for a non-birthing person may be 76 at birth, but life expectancy for a non-smoking 60 year old non-birthing person in good health is 81.

So if he made it to 72 in good-ish health, dieing at 73 is actually a surprise.

Man, I thought I'd look really good in the Slingshot.....

Finally gave up the ghost
Shiit they aren't even going to bury her for 12 days! TV news will be non existent for months.

She witnessed a lot of crap in her life time

Well, DUH! If they've died, they can't announce it, can they?

J/K.

You just had to run that errand

You made me go look for the latest statistics for America.

Damn blueberry pancakes!

Same website had the actual average overall when I scrolled down.

I would imagine that Covid has caused much of the decline, we will have to wait and see if it corrects. My money is on life expectancy going back up !
