NN)The suicide rate in the United States continues to climb, with a rate in 2017 that was 33% higher than in 1999, new research finds.
Suicide rates among people 15 to 64 increased significantly during that period, rising from 10.5 per 100,000 people in 1999 to 14 per 100,000 in 2017, the most recent year with available data, according to annual research published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics on Thursday.

I blame the news media.
Maybe it’s hard-core libs killing themselves in their despair over Trumpitler. Wonder if we could get him a few more terms....
I blame the internet. Pretty tough to keep up with all of the perfect lives on Facebook and the perfect bodies on Instagram.
Hmmm.....Let’s see, since 1999:
1) Lame duck President in Bill Clinton ducks off from impeachment removal, he bombs Kosovo, ignores Bin Laden
2) Deadlocked 2000 election results in paralysis
3) 9/11/2001
4) Endless wars in Iraq/Afghanistan
5) Katrina
6) Obama and the Sharptonist BLM talk
7) Demonizing the right
8) Wage stagnation
What do you expect?
I agree. The liberal “media” and our so-called “schools”. I wonder how many of these suicides had bought into their programmers’ BS about the coming “climate change apocalypse”.
so, we’re all NOT going to die, only 33%
Two main factors.
Apostasy. Loss of belief in and relationship with God
Tyranny. The rise of the technocratic police state.
Add another factor: hopelessness among unemployed white males over 50 years of age.
The rate is still tiny when you look at the actual numbers. Drugs, PTSD are major factors.
because CNN SUCKS
The best thing I can do for poor people is to keep from becoming one of them. Same with my attitude for others. Suicide should be legal. Libertarian dittos.
CONgress to busy trying to dump Trump they don’t have time for crap like suicides. Unless.it involves gun legislation.

Yep, the Ministry of Propaganda and the Ministry of Education.
Making people believe things that aren’t true can have adverse consequences.
I think youre right!
24 hour cable OPINION news is depressing no matter which outlet or channel is viewed.
Of course, a steady diet of lies and distortions cant be good for anyone, but news itself most often relishes tragedies; the bigger the better. Death, disaster, mayhem, by humans or weather.
Politics is 24 hour cable OPINION news life blood and its blood sport.

I blame drugs. They destroy motivation. They ruin health. They inflict poverty. They are a dead end.
I wonder how closely this tracks with the encouragement of perversion by the media .
