Michelle Obama: Former US first lady says she has 'low-grade depression'. Is she mildly depressed in the $8 million dollar place in DC or the $12 million dollar place in Martha's Vineyard?

I mean having money doesn’t mean you are immune from depression. Rich people kill them selves too.

Leftists consider people with privilege and power to be the source of all problems. Michelle Obama is exactly that.

Respond to the comment, don't deflect it

How's it deflecting? Since when do we offer any sympathy for the privileged and powerful? Public discourse as an arena of power. You think if I called up the BBC and informed them of my current mental state they'd publish it? Michelle is able to speak and be heard while the rest of us are deliberately silenced. I assert that the world would be a better place if all the powerful people put themselves into woodchippers and left the rest of us alone. Agree or disagree?
