Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Limit of two posts per person per day.
Bots aren't allowed.
Banned users will have their posts removed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

While an interesting statistic, it doesn't really answer the question.

The answer is 1.5 million citizens. That is how much we have lost in the last three decades. The huge amount is the reason we do not talk about it.

Any normal country that was losing the equivalent of a war in population loss every year would be in crisis. It would be a huge issue.

But it is not, we won't talk about it. Congress passed laws so we can't study it. It is taboo because there is something much more important than this huge loss of life.
