That’s not at all accurate. Blaming yourself for having depression is like blaming yourself for having epilepsy. It’s not your “fault”. It’s important to note that while you might be taking meds, but you might not be taking the right meds

Look, it's really, really simple. Just answer a very basic question: Whats your interpretation of her social media post when taking into account the panicked crying? Does it change your opinion of her claim being ambiguous? Yes, or no?

Since when is cost effectiveness an "arbitrary" requirement? The plane was years late and massively over budget. It has nothing to do with Anti-Americanism. I have no idea where you got that from.
