Yes I’ve always been on board but remember it’s treating a symptom & not a cause. If all we do is focus on that the forces of injustice will then say “Ok so now we get to lower taxes for the top earners.” We have to do more than compensate for injustice; we have to create justice

Economic injustice and an overriding sense of purposelessness and meaninglessness created by an insanely consumer-based society and its tendency to make tens of millions of human lives expendable are the underlying causes of most mental health issues in the United States.

4/ We shouldn’t let Congress pass some proclamation on Monday celebrating Mental Health Day yet refusing to acknowledge all their policies that are complicit in creating gargantuan amounts of chronic despair. Human despair is the greatest underlying mental health issue of all.

3/ Working as hard as you possibly can but knowing there’s no way you’re going to be able to make enough to send your kids to college, and worrying it that every single day, becomes a mental health issue.

2/ Knowing it will take you years to pay off a college loan that you only took out so that you could educate yourself for your dream career but now you can’t pursue your dream career because it probably won’t pay you enough to pay off those debts, becomes a mental health issue.

1/ Having to work three jobs to make ends meet and having little kids on the other end of the line crying “Mommy when are you going to come home?” all the time becomes a mental health issue.

Monday is Mental Health Day. An important issue to remember is that any government which leaves tens of millions of people living with chronic economic desperation and anxiety is itself a primary generator of mental health issues.

Why? It’s not against the law to be an anarchist unless they actually do something to break the law.
