The U.S. Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) released a new Vital Signs report on Thursday, 7 June, 2018.
In the press release about the new report, the CDC states that:
Suicide rates have been rising in nearly every state, according to the latest Vital Signs report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2016, nearly 45,000 Americans age 10 or older died by suicide. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death and is one of just three leading causes that are on the rise.
[...]
Researchers found that more than half of people who died by suicide did not have a known diagnosed mental health condition at the time of death. Relationship problems or loss, substance misuse; physical health problems; and job, money, legal or housing stress often contributed to risk for suicide. Firearms were the most common method of suicide used by those with and without a known diagnosed mental health condition.
Are any Soylentils contemplating suicide? Do you know anyone who has attempted or succeeded in taking their own life? Why do you think suicide rates are on the rise?

I'm not saying that you should kill yourself - but if you're going to do it, would you do it before you spend another decade whining? People get tired of that shit.

The difference between you, and me, is that I don't give a damn if you get sick of my shit. And, I thank you for your respectful recognition. Yes, I'm a true asshole, not some fake asshole, like you see on television, or runs for public office. Thank you.
And, now, I'll get back to sifting the news for fake news and real news . . .
