Not saying you're wrong, but how do we know the suicide stats wouldn't have been worse without the youth counselling programs and medications, they’re not exactly impirically quantifiable outcomes, how do you measure success, if they don't die?
It’s a disgrace eh. We pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars each, and they don’t even bother reading what they vote on
To make it worse is the fact the vote was unanimous.
If it's a business marv then bring in capital gains tax.
We have had more and more youth counselling, more and more medications and still the rate grows.
^ truth
What would the rate be like without those things though. What's the answer, more funding?
No the answer is fundamentally changing society because most of the things we take as self evident truths aren’t.
Lot to unpack there, we could even be in a sort of existential crisis in the west, I'm an atheist but belief in Gods in the past was something that held societes together and gave people hope. What truths do we hold self evident that are lies?
Who thinks politicians are motivated by our best interests? A few naive voters maybe.

Long term it wasn't something that was acknowledged before the 1960s so there are no accurate records, suicides were often unrecorded.
