This article is just an opinion piece and junk at that. If they have any data they fail to properly cite it beyond their own economist article which also fails to properly cite sources. I find this so frustrating when reading articles these days. All to often they just write "in a recent study ..." with no mention of what the study is, who did it, or a link for you to read it.
Suicide is a huge problem and very complex topic and this article answers to "Why" are quite flippant.

- grzm 8y agoSubmit articles you think are appropriate. Flag those you think are inappropriate for the site. Act within the guidelines by not complaining about those that you think aren't right for discussion on HN. > "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did." Similarly, "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." I suspect the downvotes for your parent are in response to them thinking the comment isn't in line with the guidelines. Commenting as they did often attracts attention to the comment and leads to worse discussion.
