Systematic institutionalized racism will do that.
The "deaths of despair" trifecta — alcoholism, overdose & suicide — hit unskilled middle-aged white men in the US uniquely hard, and this seems to be the one demographic we're totally fine shitting on in lieu of bothering to look for any kind of systemic problem https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1315419159761743873 …pic.twitter.com/xEPtoDXPA2

Education is king. Govt requires our healthiest most energetic years spent in a crap education system just to drop us into workforce unskilled and useless. Higher ED requires ~4 more years with tons of debt. Lucky to arrive at 30 with a decent career. This is a disaster.

I’m a case study of this. Totally a hands on learner, ended up a drop out and a drug addict. Faith saved my life 100% still took a decade to get career. Many of friends from those years suicide/prison/still addicts 20 years later.

These charts are the reason Trump won. People's lives WERE in dire straits, but media kept telling them, "Your privilege." And they keep doing it.pic.twitter.com/QzeM7gXuE7
