I work in software and don’t come from the upper class sending their kids into faangs for their first job at the tender age of 28.

Were kinda predisposed to mental illness as a group, not too surprised that a new source of insanity pushed a few over the edge.



People who don't come from upper class and work in software are predisposed to mental illness?

Am I reading this wrong, or can you explain?


They have healthcare and support structures


Blanket statement, I have been flamed so much for them here.

Most people have that here in Sweden :)

We still have suicides.

You americans have done a 180 and keep advocating for idk what, socialism? Even though we are not.


If you’re trying to say that the wealthy have it just as hard as the poor I would ask you to step off a cliff under the claim that gravity doesn’t exist.


I am not, it seems you are misunderstanding.

That is correct but then the statement becomes so broad it is useless. Of course wealthy people have it easier but that is a useless statement.

Let me guess you want to abolish the capital system bla bla bla


It appears you're inferring a _lot_ that was not said. I think both posters in this thread are misunderstanding eachother.


Why even say anything so thin as "wealthy have it better than poor people"

No way!


No, I want fully automated gay space luxury communism.

I also happen to believe that capitalism is the best system to get us from our current scarcities to that sort of utopic future.
