MODERATORS
A couple years back I saw a tweet from a therapist saying that something like 90% of their patients would not need therapy if they made more money.
I could see that. I work at a psych hospital so it's a somewhat different patient population, but I'd bet that easily 10-20% of my patients would never end up here if they just ... had enough money. And most of the rest wouldn't be here as often.
Precarity does that. And yeah, the number of households in precarity (worried about rent, housing, health, food, etc.) is between 66% and 88% in the US.
Also there's intergenerational dysfunction ever since the industrial age and the rise of the nuclear family.
We're all mad here. 🐇🎩🫖
turns out shit lives makes people feel like shit
