I bring up the wealth because even our super duper billionaires with all of the healthcare accessible to them, look like miserable high schoolers at bad parties. This is not a healthy society in any way.

I think this is because, despite all the wealth, these people never grew up beyond the emotional and mental levels of a high schooler. They never had to face any consequences for their actions, surrounded by yes-men their entire lives, and so developed narcissistic traits to go along with their stunted emotional maturity. And so any little interruption to their lives is cause for a major meltdown while they try to fill the gnawing void that the spoiled childhood of emotionally absent parents they never outgrew left in them.
