#2The article avoids pointing out the obvious, but the map makes it clear this rise is predominantly among white Americans.

Clustered in the central US states, primarily due to relationship issues.

And relationship success is strongly correlated to economic factors. Bad economic conditions always lead to rises in divorce and crime.

#9"Hey kid: did you know that your very being is offensive and actually downright violent towards me and there is nothing you can do about it because it literally has to do with a fundamental aspect of who you are."
Absolutely shocking that suicide is up.

#10THIS IS NOT a politically motivated post.
Compare the map in TFA with this map, which I trivially Googled:
http://news.gallup.com/poll/203117/gop-maintains-edge-state-...
It's not a perfect correlation, but to my untrained eye, looking at both maps, it seems to me that red (eg, Republican) states appear to correlate closely with higher suicide states.
But please judge and compare the maps for yourself and form your own opinion.
Edit, add: one criticism is that the link I got from Google is a 2016 map.
