POV, you’re a 45 year old white male

You just got laid off from your white collar job

Unemployment pays $400 a week, so you don’t sign up because Uber pays $600

Government doesn’t even acknowledge job loss as an issue

You can’t get hired because no one is hiring and even if they are it’s only for DEI candidates

Meanwhile your Uber earnings are dropping because we’re importing unskilled labor at the highest level in history due to illegal immigration

The government gives them preloaded debit cards, free housing, and they work Uber

If you have an issue with any of this you’re racist, and also men are seen as the source of all of society’s problems

The message? Please just stop existing

Unfortunately the message is being received

Societal empathy for this human subgroup’s suffering? Zero, perhaps negative

Would be nice if they color coded the legend on the chart

Nevertheless, here’s the data

cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

We use elevated suicide risk as a reason to cater policy directly for the benefit of certain populations

Why is it ignored in this case?

If the suicide rate for white males is quite literally 10x that for black females? Isn’t that a societal issue?

Notice in the chart the more white and the more male you are the more the societal pressure to off yourself

White females have a suicide rate several multiples of minority females

Above them minority men are even more likely

Then of course white men are truly despised

I had to mute this

The lack of empathy is too real

Human suffering is real, it doesn’t matter the race/gender

The suicide of a hispanic woman is equally as tragic as that of a white man

One is just occurring at 10x the rate of the other, it’s a disparity worth investigating
