A Kroger worker died by suicide. Now his family is suing, testing the 'Suicide Rule.' The case against Kroger has emerged as more Americans struggled with despair: a record 48,344 people took their own lives in 2018 as the country faces suicide rates that have climbed for decades. How Kroger resolves this case could influence employment across the country. Source 1z.
I will have to look up what this 'suicide rule' is, but Americans are working until they have nothing left to give, which of course leads to this type of thing. I know my husband is struggling through something close to this right now. The feeling of having nothing else to do but work until you die is very real. With rising costs and wages not really going anywhere, I know we're struggling with depression even more than we were before.
