“There is a long marriage between comedy and human suffering, and mental illness, in particular, is easily played for laughs….Sometimes it is hard to shake the feeling that, all jokes aside, there really is an epidemic of human suffering in the world, the full brunt of which is being borne, for now, by only a luckless few.”

It’s graduation season in an economic downturn, so it’s time to reflect on the sorry state of college affordability, student loans and job prospects in the US. Being a twentysomething here in the US, I take discussions like these incredibly personally.
