Given the state of American health, healthcare, employment, housing & political stupidity I'm surpised that the suicide rate is not much higher than it is.

When you look at where geographically the suicide rate in the US has increased significantly, it becomes less of a mystery, UTAH has seen the highest rise, mostly in the LBTQ+ community, continually for the last five years, Florida is close behind and the next ten states are all republican, with apparently the major cause stated in suicide notes being a feeling of being unwelcome, unable to fit it in and persecution.
The increase in young female suicides has been the most notable.
Among the over sixty five year olds the major stated cause is "This is no longer the country I grew up in, or served in the military."
The UK is no better (and we don't have easy access to guns) since 2018, there has been an average 5.8% increase per year in men and 5.5% increase per year in women.
Among UK men in 2021 it was noted that 2 men killed themselves everyday in the construction industry alone.

Not surprising given the policies pursued by the English governments since the 1970's.

Why would I or virtually all Americans even consider suicide? Our health care is fine, our housing is excellent.

Read something other than Russian propaganda, you are so terribly uninformed.

Am I?

Yet again alien you prove your incompetent stupidity & ignorance.

@FrayedBear Once again you rely on bullshit. I live here and have NO problems. I have many many friends and acquaintances that likewise have no problems.

Do we have poor people. Yes, as does every country. Do we have endemic problems? No.

You can go back to sleep.

@Alienbeing psychopaths & sociopaths do not have problems with having empathy & sympathy for others.
Your reply merely evidences the fact that you have no diversity amongst your "many friends & acquaintances" or tolerance for diversity hence your constant irrational antipathy toward me & comfortable familiarity with fellow aliens.

@FrayedBear Since you don't know any of my friends, what facts did you reference about my circle of friends.

Your assertions prove you merely mouth off. You don't know anything abount the USA and you don't know anything about my friends, but that does not stop you from continuously making idiotic claims.

Rant on, you are excellent entertainment.
