It's text on the internet. Glyph of mild sarcasm not seen. Sorry, forget it.

"Lighten-up" was specifically removed from the diagnostic criteria of the new DSM-5. (It's a joke, Don.)

I hope that with the recent changes here everyone can lighten up. Everyone's skin is still sensitive from the flame wars.
Aloe Vera for everybody, on me!

That takes years to develop.

I tend to be believe that a LOT of the sort of issues that we see in the breakdown of society are -- inherently -- economic problems and nothing else.
Nobody chooses to live in a ghetto and, in a perfect world, ghettos would not exist.

Your last sentence is pretty correct. The preceding one, less so. I think in many cases, people live in ghettos because it's hard for them to find someone who will rent to them, anywhere else. And I think that reluctance is not 'an economic problem and nothing else.'

If you have $$$, reluctance goes away.
That strikes me as economic.

You don't go from very little to $$$ in one step. Therein lies the rub.
There is a way by winning the lottery and states are more than willing to help people here.
