The suicide rate for people without jobs is significantly higher than the suicide rate for people with jobs.
The overdose rate for people without jobs is significantly higher than the overdose rate for people with jobs.
Deaths by despair are significantly higher for people without jobs than for people with jobs.
People who work temporary jobs are also at greater risk of all those types of deaths than people with steady careers.
You don't have any idea what you're talking about.
You might be right about other parts of the world, but not America. America is Great Again, that is an indisputable fact. We have freedom and some Great leadership. It has already been proven that the pandemic is a hoax and the coronavirus is not a big deal that anyone should be worried about. It sounds like you have become more and more miserable and decided all other Americans must be miserable, too.
There's a lot of nuance here, I won't dive into it all.
But 20% of the country feels the country is going in the right direction. That number was 41% in March.
The truth is, the people who say Trump didn't take this virus seriously enough, would be calling him an authoritarian dictator if he shut down the whole country.
Even if true, such would not prove that being without a job is the cause of death or that such unemployed people have a lesser "quality of life" than others who don't kill themselves. Some people may just be more resistant to suicide, for whatever reasons, religious or otherwise. Or some people may be more pain & suffering tolerant. Furthermore, are you implying that people are just puppets of their job circumstances & have no free will in deciding if they kill themselves or not? Moreover, how did anything you stated even address my post & points? Perhaps this post, which you never answered, will help lead the discussion towards the crux of the matter, e.g. what is meant by "quality of life":
"Quality of life" down significantly? You provided no definition of the phrase, let alone any reasoning or evidence to support your opinion. I could easily argue that the "quality of life" has improved, or is the same in 2020, as it was relative to 2019, 2000, 1943, 1918, 1492, 30 AD, etc.
For example, consider the statement "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" & to be stronger equals better "quality of life".
Quality of life. How is that measured? Does it involve more leisure time, more free time, more time free from the drudgery of that 4 letter word "work"?
Is "quality of life" measured in terms of having the freedom to do what you want? Or having more sex, more family time, more sleep?
Does "quality of life" speak of greater happiness? Or increased spirituality that one might obtain from being free to spend increased amounts of time in meditation, prayer, Bible reading, navel gazing, etc?

Oh man, what a fool you are. It's pretty obvious that working gives you a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Not surprised a liberal like you wouldn't understand. Sure, mail all the lazy bums a check to sit at home and "pursue their passions."
Their passions will be sitting on their ass and accomplishing nothing 9/10, but you do you.
Your whole premise is based on feelings.
Trump has handled everything about the coronavirus and everything else over the past 3.5 years near perfectly. That is a major reason why quality of life is so much better than ever before. The only people who disagree are retarded Liberals and communists.
Is their an implied definition of "quality of life" in there somewhere?
Many people detest that 4 letter curse word "work" & find a far greater sense of "accomplishment", purpose in life & usefulness in the things they do while not working - or being retired as i am - than in flipping burgers to help people get heart disease - or whatever other useless employment they are engaged in. Regardless of how superficial & lame that "sense of accomplishment" is or may be. And, of course, there are multitudes who believe their "quality of life" is much better pursuing their "passions" of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, or doing whatever the hell they fancy, than being a 9-5 slave of some mind numbing boring "work". But, according to you, the lockdown has led to billions losing their "quality of life". Yeah, riiiiight.
you mean people with zero marketable skills and can only flip burgers do not find meaning in their work? Oh, I guess we should just give them $1000 a week to sit at home then. I'm sure they'll make a lot of themselves and their life, because they were doing such a good job before hand, getting into their 30s and 40s and 50s with zero marketable skills.
lol.
The topic is "quality of life". How are your twisted convoluted strawman remarks relevant to that topic.
Again you stated "Quality of life is down significantly for billions of people."
Do you want to try again to defend that - and address my comments in this thread - or keep raising the white flag of diversions.
Stay on topic. Focus.
