Why They're Dying Too Young

In addition to snark (see immediately below), at which he excels, Steyn often is as on-target with political and social insights as the similarly multi-talented Ann Coulter. See his take on the declining lifespan of less-educated middle aged whites:

(Their) lives are not only shorter than their compatriots, shorter than socioeconomically similar Canadians, but shorter than pretty much anyone in the developed world other than Russian men face down in the vodka. That seems not unconnected to the dissolution of the border, and the ceaseless supply of cheap foreign labor, and the stagnation in wages, and the shriveling of the employment market to crappy low-paid service jobs about to be rendered obsolete by technology.

Steyn nails our domestic problems in half a paragraph.
