    In Baltimore, a 20-year gap in life expectancy exists between the city’s poor, largely African American neighborhoods and its wealthier, whiter areas. A baby born in Cheswolde, in Baltimore’s far-northwest corner, can expect to live until age 87. Nine miles away in Clifton-Berea, near where The Wire was filmed, the life expectancy is 67, roughly the same as that of Rwanda, and 12 years shorter than the American average. Similar disparities exist in other segregated cities, such as Philadelphia and Chicago.

    These cities are among the most extreme examples of a national phenomenon: Across the United States, black people suffer disproportionately from some of the most devastating health problems, from cancer deaths and diabetes to maternal mortality and preterm births.

    True, but he was DCI when Trump was doing his "Little Rocket Man" nonsense, and war with NK, or at least a "bloody nose strike", was being contemplated. Unless he's an utter imbecile (which is, as you point out, always a possibility in the Trump cabinet) he *has* to have at least some grasp of their nuclear capability and our limitations in getting solid intel regarding that program.

    That story doesn't mention the gun violence disparity (unless I missed it), which is interesting because it has way more effect on that discrepancy in life expectancy than the things it did mention -- the disproportionate number of health problems. In general, the disparity can be summed up as, "poverty." That includes the high levels of diabetes, the preterm births and other health problems that are more common in poor areas. But life expectancy numbers, when they are used to make a case about health problems (often to make a case for a health care policy) are tricky. One 18 year male who is shot dead in a drug deal has a disproportionate impact on the aggregate life expectancy number, and it has nothing to do with his health care. In places, such as West Baltimore, where you have a lot of drugs and a lot of violence accompanying the drugs, you get a young people being killed. It has a very dramatic effect on the life expectancy numbers.
