Unrigging the US economy and actually tending to the needs of our citizens would do more to address the mental health crisis in the United States than would any amount of money spent on standard psychological approaches to the problem. 1/3

If a person has to work three jobs to make ends meet and lives with chronic economic anxiety day after day and year after year, they don’t just need someone to talk to about it or a pill to numb their pain. 2/3

The mental health crisis is a symptom of a deeper cause, and the system that’s the cause of that symptom trying to distract us by saying how much they care about mental health is part of the gaslighting that’s at the heart of the problem. 3/3

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. That is not why this country is having a mental health problem. The problem is we have changed what the meaning of normal is.

Most amazingly while the Citizens are poorer and poorer and losing more of their retirement savings, the individuals of Banking, Congress, Hedge Funds, DTCC partners are all stuffing their pockets and their off shore accounts. Billions! And we tweet and tweet. Feckless? 🤷‍♀️

Money is the root to all evil, so it seems, that and ego. Lack of money is the one thing that can unsettle the strongest of us. We, as a country, must better provide opportunity to all. Opportunity to survive, to thrive in whatever ways possible…

So stop flooding the labor market with replacements for American workers and wages will rise.

I would rather leave you alone, but then you make wise statements like this that must be supported. Ending corporate personhood would help unrig the economy. As would freeing up the housing market. But big gov socialism is the wrong path

Gosh I sure wish you were the one in power calling these shots. You’re about the only politician who actually “gets it”. We are a nation starved of empathy and soiled with toxic greed
