Spent 40+ hours a week during the prime of my life at jobs that sucked working for people that didn’t appreciate anything no matter what you did.

Ummm… nothing. Not even a vacant lot.

Directly? No because if there was a simple ipso facto causation it would have the same impact across all socio economic groups in the a similar way. The pandemic was experienced very differently by different groups in this country—and economic status was one of the clearer correlations in different effects.

To quote myself:

Though i would double check that suicide stat. There might be an asterisk in the stat for “ruled a suicide” vice just calling something a accident and moving on.

It’s a logical and reasonable inference to suggest that this shift relates to people being home so the opportunities for non-violent property crimes were reduced.

And while people were at home they had more time to implode into self harm or explode into harming others. This occurred more often with those that were already marginalized before Covid hit because they had fewer resources to start and got more marginalized and felts the impacts more acutely.

Each other’s I assume. 🤣

Just about every undesirable metric went up during the pandemic. Yes, that included gun related injuries.

“Almost two-thirds (65.9%) of all firearm deaths were homicides, 30% were unintentional, and 4.1% were undetermined”

The researchers appear to have pooled different risk groups together.

Not “born to rebel,” it’s just how much resources and concern is given out. By the kid is a tertiary or back up tertiary kid then the parents tend to get pretty casual.
