ettercap18··on A Dollar Store Backlash Has Begun
Articles like this (and this approach is extremely common) push ideological propaganda instead of actual understanding about what is dessicating the middle and lower classes.

The term “white flight” is a nonsense, ideological term only used by a very fringe group.

Real economists and analysts talk about globalization, inflation, trade, shift from manufacturing to service economy etc. the things that are most harming African Americans and Hispanics are not Dollar General stores.

I couldn’t agree more.

This person has unilaterally made a judgement from afar about what people “should be eating” and wants to ban them from getting what is affordable and attainable.

Any article using the term “white flight” is to be regarded as ideological propaganda.

When you are performing analysis at the level of blaming white People for moving, you are not looking at serious material.

ettercap18··on Depression
I got very depressed because I actually had undiagnosed Aspergers.

This caused me to get bullied, have problems in school which then turned into depression later. People with Aspergers are incredibly sensitive and blind to emotions making them easy targets.

The root cause for me was the Aspergers. What tipped me over the edge was not knowing I was different and being put into a school environment not suited for someone with all the sensitivities associated with Aspergers.

Yes bad things happened to me that made be depressed, but there was more going on.

I second this approach.

I used to be extremely depressed. If you are low on a single vitamin or mineral it can mess you up.

Most of the food we eat now tends to be lower in key micronutrients. Add stress, caffeine, lack of sun, alcohol, lack of sleep and those micronutrients can get consumed or flushed out of your body fast.

Exercise can also deplete those key nutrients due to sweat.

Now I take a shotgun approach, supplement all vitamins and minerals and then begin trying to add more structure and discipline to my life to control the feeling of helplessness and chaos.

Depression is complicated.
