  • Doctors and lawyers have become the middle class. Forget about manual laborers; engineers, professors, and scientists are now part of the lower classes who can only afford to live in 2 bdr apartments.

    And speed boat dealership owners and salespeople are the upper strata

    The rest of us have to live as humancentipedes in a single room

  • I don’t think drugs are necessarily the answer but therapy is in most cases so prohibitively expensive it’s almost certainly never the answer for the majority of people. $50-100 per week on therapy, if we’re being extremely generous, could fund multiple drug addictions.

  • Those people tend to lean into "just do (specific favored drug) it will fix everything" Joe Roganisms instead. Sure, drugs might help, but they are definitely not universal cures for feeling bad.

    Or, you know, they’ve actually spent a lifetime and endless amounts of money cycling through different mental health professionals only to find that the entire field is mostly just kumbaya bullshit with little rigour unless you’re lucky enough to find someone who truly knows what they’re doing.
