That you've so internalized this oppressive ideology as natural or just is why I imagine people like Schifter feel so hopeless in the face of their circumstances.

Perhaps think on this before dismissing another's life so glibly.

No, I've just done a lot of CBT. Killing yourself for a chance at a NYT article is flawed thinking, plain and simple.

I graduated at 2009, after the recession, with a degree that wasn't particularly useful. I was unemployed for a long time, but I figured out how to lower my standards, get something to survive on, and then use that foundation as an opportunity to retrain myself. It's hard, but it's not impossible, and millions of people take new jobs that are in different fields.

But you're not 60, right?
