Very misleading, it shows change rather than actual suicide rates, which are much higher for men and older age groups.

I agree that one must always be cognizant of the baseline. That being said, something is changing, and not for the better.

Governor Ron needs to fire more district attorneys in Florida.
The cities and towns not reporting are clearly trying to hide statistics about black and Hispanic and immigrant criminals.

Why are their asterisks for Hispanic and Asian?
Not sure, sorry. Footnotes were missing in the source I clipped from.

Capital gains taxes are included in income taxes?
This one is from https://www.emilkirkegaard.com/p/personality-and-politics-of-263-occupations. The abscissa, “extremity”, is “defined as the average absolute z-score for a job across the big 5 (in words, how many standard deviations the occupation average is across the Big 5).” The “Big 5” are measures of neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Deviating greatly from the mean in all of these categories, independent of direction, means you really are outlying.
There’s the usual least squares line appended, which in this case means nothing to me. Most professions are not characterized by marked extremity, and political persuasion is not predictable from low extremity scores in and of themselves. Professions that exceed about 0.25 on the extremity scale, however, are far more likely to be leftist. That gives leftists a substantially larger skew. You knew they were queer ducks and now The Science is settled.
