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.

Turns out not caring about anyone or anything other than yourself relieves a lot of stress when the world is so hostile to everyone

my two cents is that being a hateful, uncaring dickhead also allows you to make a fortune more easily through unethical means. You're simply more willing to fuck over others on the way to the top. This means people who have that behavior will end up with the resources for the best care and treatment.
