Some notes and highlights:
When you raise the expectations of marginalized people, and you don't deliver, you can expect an explosion.
If you take people who have always had high expectations, and you don't deliver what they're absolutely sure they're entitled to - the explosion can look a lot like Cult45.
Wanna look at the rather frightening mortality trend among Non-College-Educated Working Class White People?
The 3 most often cited causes of 500,000 excess premature deaths in that cohort over a period of 14 years (1999-2013) were Opioids, Suicide, and Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.
We now have some new terminology - Deaths of Despair.
What's driving that trend is not the convenient and intellectually lazy concept of Economic Anxiety.
The hate mail - 😂
The pain is real, but we have to insist on a diagnosis that's not bullshit.
