According to the CDC, from 2019 to 2020, the suicide rate declined overall by 3%.

Why do you think suicides went down while homicides went up so drastically?

As far as crime goes it looks like it was a mix. According to data released by the FBI, the number of homicides in the U.S. rose about 30% in 2020 from the year before. There was a surge in vehicle thefts during the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, U.S. crooks purloined 880,595 cars, trucks, and SUVs, which represents a 10.9 percent increase over 2019

However, not all violent crime increased. Robberies were down and property crimes, which account for most crime in the U.S., dropped by 8% in 2020

entertainMART check them out in person if you can. They have a pretty big poster collection.

This place is weird, it's like a bunch of Larpers really into the 90s got together to do recreation of what big box retail used to be before online shopping. I was half expecting someone in khakis and a polo shirt to explain VHS and Cassette tapes to local school children.
