Despite this being a shocking development that is completely opposite from the demographic rates in Europe, our Political Establishment and their bought off Journalist Thralls have no intention of making this a national emergency, but it is.
The above chart shows death rate due to alcohol, drugs and suicide, ages 50-54. It is now TWICE that of the major nations of Europe and going higher.
This is obviously linked to the bad economic prospects for whites in various industries as they get laid off for kids right out of college and H1-B visa indentured servants or replaced by black market criminal labor.
Why is this not a national scandal and a story we see every night on the major news networks?
Because the political establishment WANTS us to die off as the National Review once said?

Driving the uptick are increases in “deaths of despair”—from drugs, alcohol-related liver diseases and suicide, as well as a slowdown in progress against death in middle age from heart disease and cancer, the nation’s biggest killers, wrote Anne Case and Nobel Prize-winning economist Angus Deaton, her husband. The pair examined more than 15 data sets, including government health statistics, death certificates and various economic indicators.
The analysis paints a portrait of a gradual “collapse of the white, high-school-educated working class after its heyday in the early 1970s,” whose health, mental well-being, and attachment to the labor force have become successively worse for people born after 1945, they said.
The opioid epidemic has only heightened a trend that was already under way before those drugs hit the market, they said.
By contrast, Ms. Case and Mr. Deaton noted, the mortality rate has continued to decline this century for whites with a college degree, albeit more slowly than before.
