A homeless man was murdered on a NYC subway for doing nothing more than screaming that he's hungry. Then the Mayor calls it a "tragedy" related to "mental health issues" rather than a murder for which the murderer must be held accountable. A tragedy here is that so many Americans are so desperate that they're crying out for food in the middle of a subway; the mental health issue applies collectively to a society that can't break through this vicious cycle; and the question remains why no one in the subway car yelled out "STOP IT!!!" as they watched him die.

The income disparity is in itself a large contributor to anxiety and depression. People by nature compare themselves to others and feel less than anyone seen as more than. This is a moral failing of society as much as an equitable failing of hyper capitalism.

Americans are dying from poverty while the elites are peddling influence and lining their pockets As long as the big guy gets his 10% cut, there is no incentive for the system to change

You can do "I'm giving this president thing a run-twitter" or you can do reactionary, no context, click bait-twitter, but you can't do both. Be sober, and choose wisely.
