    Probably just the number of retirees who took their own lives out of desperation because of Pinochet’s destruction of social security already exceeds the deaths in the WTC attacks.

    Legitimately, the number of elderly suicides in Chile is huge. You have elderly people who have NO INCOME AT ALL and would rather die than to be a weight on their already impoverished families.

    And this doesn’t even scratch the surface of the level of evil that Pinochet caused.
