Modern America: kill yourself or have a baby
Very interesting read indeed from Alexander Cockburn about the realities of “modern” America. Note especially this:
…the suicide rate among middle-aged Americans has reached its highest point in at least 25 years. The rate rose by about 20 per cent between 1999 and 2004 for those aged 45 through 54 – far more than among younger adults, whose own suicide stats are also on the rise.
The previous high was in 1982, a year when there was a terrible farm crisis in the Midwest.
