Wouldn't it be dangerous for a therapist to say that? Because if their patients read it they will kill themselves due to it being caused by things completely outside of their individual control?

    Most farmland is controlled by super rich families or agribusinesses. Those guys are doing just fine. They get colossal subsidies, price supports, exemption from workplace safety laws, and so much more.

    It's tough for the scattered few non centimillionaire farmers getting fucked by the food processing cartels, for sure.

    But culture trumps economy, as a class they seem more preoccupied with white vengeance when it comes to voting day.

    Not at all. I am a therapist, and I discuss socioeconomic factors with my clients all the time. Just because I validate that shit sucks does not mean my client is going to kill themselves. Usually quite the opposite is true, they stop blaming themselves completely for their poor mental health.
