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'll keep in mind that people with money can't be depressed the next time Robin Williams comes up.

Who said that? Literally, who said rich people can't be depressed? YOU invented this as a false premise, put words in my mouth, and are now debunking what YOU said. How do you not realize that you're doing this?

Point to where I said that. I'll wait.

I said we shouldn't have any sympathy with the wealthy and powerful. That we'd all be better off if they all jumped in woodchippers feet-first. That it's blatantly unfair that media like the BBC would publish her feelings, while the rest of us can't get a foot in the door. Journalists forgot they're supposed to speak truth to power, not coddle power and ask it if it feels a bit down.
