I agree with most of the (obvious) Europeans here - as far as gas prices are concerned, America is spoiled. Sweden is just one of the many places where gas has reached $9/gallon and scientists are estimating the gas price will need to be doubled to reach climate goals for the next couple of years.
In the case of the Yahgan peoples, well, it's pretty hard for suicide to exist in a peoples that are practically extinct. The last full-blooded Yahgan died in 1999.
I'm not sure what you mean by "confined to designated half of the playing field", but living in Sweden (and having my team just lose their sixth consecutive Swedish championship final), I can tell you that bandy players can move about the field however they please.
