Middle-aged people laid off and unable to find work are taking another way out. They’re killing themselves. Suicide rates are soaring, according to federal data released last week. Especially in economically depressed states and job-starved upstate New York. People in need of work are twice as likely to take their own lives as employed people, and people fired in their 40s and 50s find it hardest to get hired again. That makes boosting economic growth a life-or-death issue for many. But you wouldn’t know it listening to President Obama and Hillary Clinton. President Obama whitewashes reality, claiming the “American economy is pretty darn good right now.” False. The Obama economy is stalled.

If you’re going to off yourself, I’d recommend going on a rampage, taking out commies, socialists, eco-nazi’s, etc., that you know.
Cops will take you out somewhere along the way, but hopefully you’ll improve the country more than hurting it by the loss of a good conservative patriot.

Which make many people skeptical of a loving God. Laying off an employee could be a death sentence for an entire family. It’s truly heartbreaking.
I’m 51, it’s not impossible.
It is not, but I have been hearing “You are too old” for a while now.
Yep, my first interview I was told one of the development managers had a “personality conflict” with me. He couldn’t have been over 30.
Yet another obama Marxist triumph.
