    I went to a checkup recently and one of the mental health questions asked is whether you have a fear of something terrible happening soon. I keep up with the news. Of course I have a fear of something terrible happening soon. I’d be delusional if I didn’t.

      Are you unable to float through life blissfully unawares? Have you tried just being oblivious to your own and others suffering but just can’t do it? You might have MENTAL ILLNESS^tm

        Your usefulness and value only comes from the hours you can produce useful work to increase the bourgeois wealth. Everything else is a distraction. Take the correct drugs and get back to work

      Exactly, and governments and companies need to acknowledge that privatizing health was a very bad idea to begin with. People deserve the best health support in this “crazy” world.
