123 a day in the USA - notes on suicide

Note on a linkedin post about a distraught father who has a suicidal daughter:

 It is the fundamental structure of capitalism and the economic organization of the USA that throws people in the garbage and destroys their lives. It is also the structure of Public Education that works to destroy natural human relationships with neighbors, siblings, and classmates. USA breeds suffering intentionally for profit. Sorry. Your daughter is very beautiful and articulate and she deserves to have a great life. I wish you the best.


 The problem is NOT a chemical imbalance. The problem is the structure of American society itself. And don't bother worrying about those teenagers alive today. Almost half of them will be killed in military action in the next world war that just started yesterday with the murder of scores of unarmed Palestinian protesters by Israel special services.


 ALSO 5150 - 72 hour hold is being used by Hospitals to imprison patients for three days and then force THEM to pay the costs. hospitals exploit the vulnerable for their own profit. For-profit Hospitals are as corrupt as the rest of America. I myself was charged $9,000.00 for an Emergency room visit because they thought I had no insurance and the Daniel Freeman hospital reduced the fee to $890.00 when I told them I was insured. I went the Presbyterian Hospital with a 102 degree fever and they tried to keep me on a 72 hour hold in the Emergency room, but I escaped. FOR PROFIT MEDICINE IS CORRUPT and CRIMINAL.


 This is a "nice little study" but evades the subject of WHY? Nobody in America and none of the one thousand coworkers I worked with in Visual Effects at Digital Domain, Method, CentropolisFX, Rhythm and Hues, or all the other projects I worked on has the least interest in whether I am dead or alive. This IS America. Nobody gives a flying fuck whether you kill yourself or not.


 An average of 123 people commit suicide every single day in the USA. This is more people that die by automobile accidents or murder combined. There are more people that commit suicide in every month of every year since 9-1-1 than actually died in 9-1-1 and yet we almost never hear about this. Why is THAT?


Remember:       "123 a day in the USA"
