My friends and family forced big pharma on their kids so now they blame these imaginary mental disorders on why their kids can't find or keep a job.
Suburbia is in denial and no offense, PoliTalker, but you are a perfect example. The anger in people is all over legacy media, yet most Americans refuse to accept what's causing such anger. I get tired of repeating myself yet I continue to explain that we're in a perfect storm for a systemic breakdown. America is a tinderbox that anything can cause to explode. I hope to live long enough to see how we come out the other side, and I'm pretty sure you are young enough to witness how the revolt is resolved.
Let's hope neither of us nor our heirs live to see that. Sure, there is the potential. But it's not a done deal. The silent majority wants to believe in America, not ready to give up. We love our country. And that's what love is. Acceptance. Not demanding perfection. Sure. There is anger over the extreme wealth inequality and the vanishing middle. America has faced HUGE problems many times in our history when things looked bleak. We always rallied to the cause and pulled through. We can do it again. Don't give up on America. Never give up on America. We've got a good president who has been through some very tough times and turned bad to good many times in his life. The polling for the 'direction of the country' has just leapt up big time, hasn't been this high in over a decade.
Ahh, the old pessimist vs the optimist debate. Classic.
