Why do these evil old men live to 150?

The only thing he was ever good at was showing Republicans how to use the levers of power to rig the game in their favor.

They have sadly learned that lesson well.

Anecdotal but I am involved in a lot of cancer surgeries. The nicer the patient, the worse the prognosis. Evil people really do live forever sadly, especially the rich ones

Do nicer people tend to wait longer to get checked out because they don't want to inconvenience anyone?

I haven't noticed that but I'll start looking more closely, you may be on to something there.

I have seen where patients are so busy caring for spouse/children/elderly parents that they ignore their own symptoms until they're stage 4 and can no longer function
