You joke but that is exactly that. Rich people have options to kill themselves. Easier to hide and get away with. Us? Not so much.

This isn’t the reason for this. Someone who is terminally ill is most likely not in the workforce force. It’s more religious dogma.

Rich people also succeed or attempt to kill themselves, and as with most suicidal people, it’s usually out of irrational depression, not the calculated pain that the article is about.

In the standard suicide case, a majority of people say who survive say they do not wish they had died.

Don’t try to shove everything into a class framework; there is inequality, there is exploitation, but to ignore the direct causes of things is madness.
