TIL: Suicide Rate in the United States Just Hit Highest Point in 75 Years - Lemmy.World

Can you blame them?

The US is a fucking hellscape

I spend quite a bit of time there. I’m over several times a year and I genuinely don’t know how people can live like that

There’s a constant thin thread of fear, wrapped around everything, running through everything

People are afraid of the people around them. They’re afraid of their government, they’re afraid of the people who are supposed to be there to protect them, they’re afraid of their employers, they’re afraid of the unknown

I’m very careful not to take my charmed life for granted

There’s less fear when you aren’t staring at screens all day.
I don’t think that is a problem with gen z honesty. (Parents willingly let this happen)
Who said anything about gen z?
