In societies that function well, there are various safety nets in place to prevent a bad break from leading to a tailspin for particularly vulnerable victims.

Instead, devastation follows, sometimes in the form of bankruptcy and addiction and death.

As the relative numbers of blacks and Mexicans rises, so life expectancy will shorten. It's a global phenomena.

Suicide is in 2nd place.
