Agree, desperation only applies to more critical things in my view. But sometimes it's the sum of little vexations, being passed on, being forgotten, that lead to a high level of frustration, anger and desperation. Then one goes into a "I don't give a shit anymore, I have nothing to loose" (there is always something to loose but desperation does that to you). I'm mentioning this because the general tone of the article and the comments was that there are many examples of this trend toward less equality and in my eyes it is very true, we are going toward a society where the gap between poor and rich becomes bigger and bigger. And this is going like this since 50 years at least...
