1. Too much “everyone gets a trophy” - so when real-life hits them, they just wither in depression.
2. Over-prescription of drugs with known side-effects that include suicidal tendencies.
3. Breakdown of the family - systematic attacks on the fabric of civil society - family (and God). Take away the core support of family, ban God from schools and public places - then wonder why people lose hope.
If that is the case then the Good Lord wants more Mohammadens?
Snowflake liberalism.....
The peak suicide rate was during the depression at 17.4 percent and the low was 9.9 in 1957.
Guess what, they also went up under Carter and down with Reagan, Peaked again with Clinton, fell with Bush2 and rose again under Obama.
As always, it’s the economy stupid. But I will add another hypothesis. The last three suicide peaks occurred during times of rabid enviro-regulatory enforcement that eviscerated rural economies and raw materials extraction industries, bankrupting loggers, miners, ranchers and many of the business they previously supported.
Dan Love of the BLM bragged about the suicides his enforcement actions resulted in.
