Committing suicide?

It's a horrible observation, as men are obviously in crisis.

There's a large percentage of working age men not in the labor force too.

Some perhaps they lost prior jobs and did not regain positions of parity, now they're disenfranchised, socially isolated, in some form of despair, or even homeless.

Anecdotally, the homeless populations I see everywhere in the west coast are 99% males aged 25-50.
