...The New York Times ran multiple pieces that called Trump’s claims “baseless” — despite its own past coverage.
“Increase Seen in U.S. Suicide Rate Since Recession” the paper reported in November 2012, summarizing a study from the medical journal Lancet that found the suicide rate rose four times faster from 2008 to 2010 than in the eight years before the Great Recession. “The finding was not unexpected. Suicide rates often spike during economic downturns,” the story noted...An Associated Press fact-check called Trump’s claim “baseless” and insisted suicide rates might “diminish”: “The even higher suicide rate seen during the Great Depression of the 1930s fell sharply with the onset of World War II.” Non-sequitur much, AP?...

I can’t imagine any shrink worth 2 cents not putting monetary stresses at the top of a concern list.
Not owing a few bucks.
But seeing savings and income wiped out.
It’s happened to me twice but I didn’t have family and I know how to make a buck in many different ways.
You got a wife and kids...its a different story.
Aren’t these the same sorts that get outraged when Trump says he wants to get back to business as soon as possible? Or when he says that the cure can be worse that the problem?
When Times get tough the tough get going. The weak whimper in a corner and blame Trump.
Poverty is bad for your health.
Or divorce either
No way those spike during bad times either
Yeah wow.
If breakups are painful, divorce must be a horror.
I wouldn’t know and rather not.
It seems very painful.
The “press” despises any Free American, the Truth, Facts, Integrity and Reason. They are the enemy of Truth and of the People. Slander and Libel laws need changed to reflect that the “press” are dishonest, worthless hacks. They abuse their privilege every second of the day to the detriment of our “free” society. There is no limit to their dishonesty and perfidy...none.
Then I can see him baiting the reports- Something along the lines of "Not only are you liars you're bad liars, ineffectual, alcoholic, drug addled, STD ridden liars - the people of the nation are disgusted by you and your polical party - your party - the party of Hate and selling out America - the party of journalists and media the Democrats. It's a good thing I'm the most pro liberty president ever Obama would have the whistleblower laws and his DOJ go after you if he got a fraction of the lies told about him as I have. Next question, James Rosen ...
By name per instance with evidence in a folder broken down by reporter - on that little shelf within in the podium -alphabetized ready to go.

I don’t know enough about what laws can be used against the enemedia.
It would be great for some real conservatives who are millionaires to buy up some media.
i don’t think they are the most profitable ventures and conservatives or more about capitalism and putting their money to best use rather than spending for ideological purposes.
That’s because We Love the country and see no driving need to fundamentally change it.
The left does. And its hatred makes it willing to lose billions if necessary.
I would tend to think the coronavirus crisis may have an even greater effect on the number of suicides, then say the great depression. In other economic downturns the issue was simply a monetary one, in this case it is a monetary one and also a media panic over health concerns making people think Go outside you will die or for people not as concerned being forced to stay inside effectively with the threat of fines or arrest for taking too long of a walk in certain cities.
You have no idea.

I am sorry you have experienced it.
Like I said, if breakups can be so brutal, I can’t begin to imagine.
You are right. I have No Idea.
Yes, but liberals don't have much in the way of common sense.
Malnutrituon and lack of money for medical care kill people during tough economic times as well.
Exhibit 1: Comrade Governors lock-down the law-abiding residents of their states for fear of spreading the virus, then turn around and release dangerous criminals from lock-down onto the streets. They HAD them locked-down...
Losing a job
Losing a marriage
Losing a child
To leftists who don’t do jack but conspire to bring down America, it’s just another day.
