For suicide prevention, try raising the minimum wage, research suggests
I wonder what would happen to the suicide rate with medicare for all, and creating a max-wage that is (avg of contractors + employees * 150), or something similar, w/ additional 'bonus' multipliers for increasing # of U.S. hired.<p>UBI would also probably help. As a freelancer I've had some really slim months and depression hits hard when money is tight.<p>There's a very direct correlation between income security, insecurity, stress, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
