You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Because modern era social media + smartphones allowing high speed internet in our pockets has turned us all into miserable people which caused the current era that we live in starting around 2015/2016.

Is this the start of a new Jerry Seinfeld routine I haven't seen yet?

"What is the deal with murder rates increasing again nationwide? I can't even get a parking spot without someone getting murdered! It's pandemonium out there. I drove to the supermarket the other day, and wife, she points out the window and says, 'Look, Jer. Mr. Brinkley is getting shanked with a sharpened rowboat oar by the Hendersons again.' And in my mind I'm thinking, 'Well, that's one less neighbor coming to my house on Purge Weekend, I guess.'"

I don't have the statistics in front of me, but then neither do you so w/e, but I'm pretty sure the national rate is still decreasing, there are just a few large cities that are seeing an increase. Or maybe that's for violent crime in general and I'm getting them mixed up.

You're the type of guy who trolls the depression topic. So I'm trying to alert everyone not to take the bait.

If you'd like for me to give you the Vlado treatment, I'm happy to do so.

Also to attempt to give an actual answer to the question despite it being hard to answer and probably asked in bad faith, the answer seems to mostly be "increasing polarization of wealth"

as poorer people become more desperate their lives begin to revolve more around the kinds of activities that get them killed. In rural/suburba areas this is mostly people killing themselves with opioids.

In cities theres a lot more chances for people to all be hustling over the same illegal methods of making money pie. The wide availability of guns doesnt help. The police chief was around saying that so many of these disputes being solved with guns when a while back they would have been fist fights is a huge part of it.

Point is bad wealth distribution leads to poor people dying not even just of starvation or lack of medical care but from lack of hope altogether. I suppose on this last point Trump threatening to take away peoplrs medical care probably does make them feel more desperate but i dont think that would have any effect at all if they werent already desperate.

Yes, income inequality. The US has the worst income inequality of any advanced economy, and is comparable to places like Nigeria and Indonesia. It's almost as if a system which does not impose restrictions on the very rich or provide adequate assurances for the very poor is bad, or something.
