The epidemic of mass shootings I think of as a sort of societal suicidality, too, so individual suicides hitting an all-time high is unsurprising.

"Suicide and Despair" is always relevant

Damn, that was powerful.

It's cold to say, but I've always wished more on the Left would consider being more...ahem...productive with their desire to end their lives. Making a splash at Mar Largo or La Cerce or Bilderberg or somewhere else.

But, to paraphrase the article, the suicidal can barely vacuum their apartment, let alone carry out an elaborate mission. Fair I guess. But how come the Nazis always seem to have the energy to shoot up a Walmart on their way out? I guess their targets are far easier to reach.
