The 'beauty' (yes, I know - totally inadequate word in lieu of above article - but in my defense, it fits) of contextual analysis backed by historical facts provided here is undeniablity of this truth - something's gotta give. How fast, how devastating, far-reaching or bloody will it get, no-one can tell you. No amount of "thoughts and prayers" will make any difference. It's downright soul crushing.
So, lemme offer the only suicide non-inducing comment that I'm able at this moment - "repetitio est mater studiorum" (latin).
Very thorough article and thank you for adding history and other points of connection. Sadly I think we are past the point of no return.. For marginalized groups I guarantee you we are. We've all been scraping by especially women because the way society is set up, we're set up to fail without men and we're set up to fail once the man we attach ourselves to dies. On average, women live 5-15 years longer than our male spouses, so I can guarantee the impact is already felt. It's only going to get worse for those of us in vulnerable and marginalized groups. Frankly speaking from the perspective of my demographic, women always take the brunt of these trendings worse. We bear almost the full brunt of it. We always have because that's how society was set up--for us to not be able to survive without men. So social security cuts we're going to feel them the worst-- because we live longer. I think this does, in fact, deserve an analysis from another perspective.. Or a few..
