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

the most thing i noticed that both parties are afraid of is giving free or extremely cheap healthcare to everyone, mainly because keeping it private helps keep the parties into gop/dem.

For-profit healthcare is beyond disgusting

Slavery never went away in the US. It was rebranded, encompassing all but the ruling classes, with people’s health tied to their employment

All so some people who were already rich could get richer, and the cost to the American public is a fucking disgrace

Long live Luigi!
