CPT (Join to see) Suicides generally spike during economic down-turns. Wages are stagnant while we see general inflation and weak growth. Housing, automobiles, education and medical costs have outpaced incomes for the last few decades. Large pockets of the middle class are living on borrowed money. It's amazing to hear the left say everything is rosy.

It amazes me how easily manipulated the public is and how our media is so bias-driven. That only 12% of Americans (including me) know that the gun violence rate is down that significantly in the last 20 years is ridiculous.

MAJ (Join to see) Yes you are correct. I'm wondering though how the mass media coverage of shooting events has increased the Suicide by guns factor.
