Palo Alto has permanent 24/7 suicide-by-train watch at all major crossings. Those folks sit out all night, even in heavy downpours, under a flimsy vinyl personal shelter and what amounts to a beach chair.

This is shocking.

Could you please provide a reference so I may link others to this?

Dr. Jean Twenge from UC San Diego and CDC Mortality Statistics.

BTW the 250% number is for boys only. For girls 10-14, it’s about 325%.
