Food Shortages Are Coming

  1. Surely you are not suggesting that we're not seeing any economic distress due to the shutdown? None, nobody, not a single family has any financial distress due to this? I guess every single person who lost a job, every business owner who has closed down, all of them to the last man and woman has made less than 600 bucks a week and now all is just peachy. Who knew the entire fucking nation was working at the poverty level.

    Well I will note that at least 30% of workers in most states make more on state unemployment plus $600 per week than in wages they earned.

    My point is that when the government monetary gravy train stops, the savings run out, and they start allowing evictions again is when economic stress will drive up the suicide rate. Not now due to having to stay at home -- several months from now when the bills come due.

  3. I will also add that economic distress is but one element that drives the suicidal over the edge. One need look no further than the many celebrities and wealthy people who have killed themselves. Isolation, feeling hopeless and helpless are major contributing factors. Certainly the shutdown and the overall gloom and doom of the entire event is taking a toll. Alcohol and drug abuse play their part too and I can tell you from up close and personal experience people in that community are struggling. I'm just trying to say that the negatives surrounding this shutdown are certainly taking a toll and lives are in jeopardy. There is a point where the cure becomes more of a threat that the Covid itself. Where that line of departure is the great unknown and to dismiss it as too far away to worry about is a mistake because once we pass that the following shitshow becomes extremely difficult to manage

  4. I think the lack of sports means men have to talk more to their wives and this has also been driving up the suicide rates....

    When she orders an axe, large garbage bags, and shovel off of Amazon.... it's classified as a homicide. :)

    Yes, its The Great Mistake and the only good thing coming out of it is that it has exposed leftist authoritarian tendencies primarily the leftist predilection to use any "emergency" to abrogate our constitutional rights.

    What a load of shite you silly little men.

    Suicides will be flat or drop. When there is a crisis, people don't kill themselves, its after. Ask those soldier lads. More suicides than died in Vietnam in the last 10 years alone.

    Right now the US needs to prep for that rise, but won't because Donny needs and dreams of a suicide spike for his personal benefit.

    It would be hilarious if you werent so stupid. Trump said suicides would increase and the assholes you follow in the media said they would decrease.

    You are a far left anti-American. America has been squashing turds like you, and it always will.
