Stupid people, don’t they know the GDP is up, inflation has slowed, wages are up and the stock market is hitting all time highs?
/s
Most were men. Half were with guns
Besides the everyday things that can drive people to suicide- The fact that most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which all of us know, and we know corporations are artificially inflating prices to appease stockholders…they should face jail time for forcing their own people into such desolate despair that they off themselves. I would say they better wise up, as it would be such a shame if the same fate were to affect their top CEOs/families. I mean come on the darknet exists, and if the wrong family member commits suicide who knows what they might do quite really. A new John Wick could emerge.
I wonder what the breakdown is by socio-economic and age group.
In any case, being working poor and constantly being told things are great takes a toll. Add in deliberate social media efforts to factionalize and isolate, and we have quite the situation. I don’t think it’s going to get better any time soon either, Ai is going to make it possible to manipulate people in all kinds of horrible ways.
A good friend of mine, Lieutenant (posthumously Major?) Robert ‘Bert’ Enea Williamson of the US Space Force was one of those 50,000+.
I will continue to remember him through the end of my days, and may peace be with those who also lost someone dear to them.
If yer reading this, and feeling shitty. Send me a PM. I’ll try to cheer you up, or just listen so you can vent.

Those lockdowns really saved lives didn’t they?
Does this include the Boeing case?
Oh no, that was this year.
